Specialist Care
Care tailored for complex needs
When care becomes more complex, families need more than practical assistance — they need calm expertise, thoughtful judgement, and someone they can trust implicitly.
At St Agatha Care, we introduce highly experienced self-employed carers who are confident supporting a wide range of specialist and complex conditions, always with dignity and sensitivity at the forefront.
Our approach remains personal. We take time to understand not only the medical requirements, but also the emotional impact on the individual and their family.
We support a wide range of complex conditions:
Mary's Story:
How live-in care turned a patient's journey around
“During what should have a been a short hospital stay, my mother Mary was unable to leave for 111 days due to various hospital-acquired infections. A new diagnosis of Parkinsonism - a debilitating and painful disease, in addition to the dementia she already had, left her immobile, non-communicative and with a contorted body that required 24 hour care. In a short space of time, our family had to adjust to an entirely new panorama with all the emotional distress that brought and to look for appropriate care. A nursing home was recommended as the only practical solution. Yet this didn't sit very well with us; we simply wanted to bring her home. Through a chance conversation with Sara at St. Agatha Care, we found an alternative solution that met the holistic needs of our family. Sara moved with speed and alacrity to find a team of experienced and available live-in carers. My mother returned to her own home, and in no time at all improved immeasurably. Through attention to her personal well-being and nutrition, my mother continues to improve and has become visibly happier. My mother is very alert to the familiarity of her home environment: pictures, décor, smells, sounds, and a steady stream of friends and family are able to pay regular visits. Her carers, Myrna and Amy have shown us just what care in the home can do using innovative ideas and their considerable experience with the elderly to bring about these improvements. These last few months have certainly had their challenges, and I am full of praise for the help that St. Agatha Care has been able to give us by connecting us with those who have a vocation to provide loving care in a home setting.”
