Who we support

We provide 24-hour nursing care for adults with complex, co-occurring needs, helping people stay well, maintain their independence, and live a meaningful life.

Someone might come to live with us when they are:

  • needing increased nursing support as their needs change or progress
  • stepping down from hospital or a secure setting
  • moving from a care provider that can no longer safely meet their needs
  • looking for a new home following a previous placement breakdown.

Our three care communities have distinct profiles of need, helping us match each person with the right care, environment, and community to support a successful, sustainable placement.

Typically supports adults with:

  • a primary neurological diagnosis, such as Huntington’s disease, multiple sclerosis (MS), motor neurone disease (MND), or spinal cord injury
  • predominant physical health needs that require a high level of nursing input, observation, and monitoring
  • co-occurring health needs such as diabetes, dysphagia, and epilepsy
  • significant cognitive impairment affecting memory, judgement, and awareness of risk
  • clinical interventions such as catheters, enteral feeding, stomas, and tracheostomies
  • complex respiratory needs requiring oxygen or ventilation.

Care focuses on maintaining function, comfort, meaningful involvement, and independence.

For people with progressive conditions, care can adapt through increasing frailty, palliative care, and end-of-life care.

Typically supports adults with:

  • complex mental health needs arising from a primary mental health or neurological diagnosis, such as brain injury, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia
  • behaviours of concern requiring a single-sex environment
  • moderate to severe cognitive impairment
  • a forensic background, where risk-related behaviours have reduced or ceased, and the person may remain subject to legal restrictions
  • needs that may require planned restrictive practices within a positive behaviour support framework, reducing as needs stabilise.

The unit provides a male-only, structured, and supportive environment with positive behaviour support, consistent risk management, and individualised staffing and observation where needed.

Care focuses on stability, emotional wellbeing, meaningful engagement, daily living skills, and greater independence.

The unit is suited to people who benefit from a structured, slower-paced environment.

Typically supports adults with:

  • complex mental health needs arising from a primary mental health or neurological diagnosis, such as acquired brain injury, dementia, Huntington’s disease, or Parkinson’s
  • behaviours of concern
  • co-occurring physical health needs
  • clinical interventions such as catheters, stomas, and enteral feeding
  • progressive physical health needs associated with increasing dependency.

Care focuses on maintaining function, comfort, emotional wellbeing, meaningful engagement, and independence where possible, while adapting to changing mental and physical health needs.

For people with progressive conditions, care can adapt through increasing frailty, palliative care, and end-of-life care.

What makes our care different

Our approach brings together nursing, clinical, and behavioural expertise, staffing shaped around individual needs, and an environment where people can live well.

24-hour nursing care

Registered Nurses are on site 24 hours a day, providing responsive care, clinical oversight, and early recognition of change.

Needs-led staffing

Staffing and observation levels are shaped around individual needs, risks, and complexity, adapting as a person’s needs change.

Multidisciplinary approach

Nursing, medical, therapeutic, and behavioural expertise works together to provide coordinated care around each person’s needs.

Complex clinical capability

Complex nursing and clinical needs are supported alongside neurological, mental health, and behavioural needs.

Positive behaviour support
