A Trusted Partner for Case Managers

We work alongside case managers across England and Wales to deliver bespoke packages of care for individuals with complex needs.

We know that successful care packages require far more than simply arranging support. Case managers need confidence that care will be safe, sustainable, outcome-focused and capable of evolving as a client's circumstances change.

Whether supporting a client following a brain injury, spinal cord injury, neurological condition or other life-changing event, our focus is on creating sustainable care solutions that support rehabilitation, promote independence and adapt as needs evolve.

A Fully Managed Service

We provide much more than care delivery. Every package is supported by experienced operational, clinical and care management teams who oversee all aspects of mobilisation and ongoing package management. This includes:

  • Recruitment of dedicated care teams
  • Mandatory and specialist training
  • Clinical competencies and ongoing assessments
  • Care planning and risk management
  • Staff rotas and holiday cover
  • Clinical oversight
  • Supervisions and quality checks
  • Regular package reviews

This enables case managers to focus on the client and wider outcomes while we manage the day-to-day delivery of the package.

Recruitment Built Around the Individual

The quality of a package often depends on the quality of the team delivering it. Rather than relying solely on existing staffing pools, we recruit dedicated care teams specifically for the individual wherever possible. This allows us to focus on:

  • Skills and experience
  • Personality and compatibility
  • Shared interests and values
  • Clinical requirements
  • Long-term team stability

Our Care Managers remain closely involved throughout the process, helping ensure support teams are aligned with the client's needs, goals and preferences from the outset.

Supporting Rehabilitation and Independence

Many of the clients we support are working towards rehabilitation goals or adapting to life following a life-changing injury or diagnosis. Our approach is designed to integrate support into everyday life while reinforcing wider therapy and rehabilitation objectives. This may involve:

  • Community access
  • Rehabilitation programmes
  • Education or employment goals
  • Independent living skills
  • Social participation
  • Confidence building

The aim is not simply to meet care needs, but to support meaningful progress and positive long-term outcomes.

Complex Care Expertise

We support individuals with a wide range of complex and high-dependency needs, including brain injury, spinal cord injury, neurological and neurodegenerative conditions, respiratory and ventilation needs, physical disabilities, learning disabilities and autism, mental health conditions, gastro-intestinal and complex nutritional needs.

  • Brain Injury Care

    Helping individuals rebuild confidence, maintain independence and continue rehabilitation following acquired or traumatic brain injury.

  • Mental Health Support

    Supporting people with mental health conditions to live independently, maintain stability, and rebuild confidence in everyday life.

  • Neurological Care

    Specialist support for people living with neurological and neurodegenerative conditions, helping them maintain independence, wellbeing and quality of life at home.

  • Physical Disability Support

    Specialist support for people with disabilities, that promotes independence, opportunity and quality of life.

  • Spinal Cord Injury Care

    Supporting recovery, independence, and quality of life through specialist, clinically-led care.

Many of the clients we support have multiple diagnoses and require coordinated support from a range of professionals.

Clinical Oversight and Real-Time Reporting

We combine clinical expertise with digital care management systems to strengthen governance, oversight and quality assurance.

Electronic care planning, live monitoring and reporting tools provide real-time visibility of care delivery, medication management and service performance.

This Supports

  • Stronger clinical governance
  • Greater transparency
  • Faster decision-making
  • Improved communication
  • Better continuity of care

For case managers, this provides reassurance that care is being delivered as planned and enables issues to be identified and addressed quickly.

By combining rehabilitation, case management and specialist care services within the wider Group, we can help create smoother transitions, reduce provider fragmentation, and support continuity throughout a client's journey.

For case managers, this means working with a provider that understands the wider picture and the importance of delivering care that contributes to meaningful, long-term outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Timeframes vary depending on the complexity of the package, staffing requirements and clinical needs.

Following referral, we will work with the case manager to establish an appropriate mobilisation plan and keep all stakeholders updated throughout the process.

Yes. Where possible, we recruit dedicated care teams around the individual client, allowing us to focus on compatibility, continuity and the specific skills required for the package.

Absolutely. We regularly support individuals returning home following rehabilitation and can work closely alongside rehabilitation teams, therapists and Active Neuro services to help maintain continuity and support ongoing goals.

Yes. Our dual registration for Personal Care and Treatment of Disease, Disorder or Injury (TDDI) enables us to support a broad range of complex clinical interventions and high-dependency packages within the home environment.

Care needs rarely remain static, particularly for individuals with complex injuries, rehabilitation goals or progressive conditions. As a minimum, care plans are formally reviewed every six months by a qualified healthcare professional, with additional reviews triggered by any significant change in circumstances, health, outcomes or support requirements.

Reviews are completed in partnership with the client, their family and the wider multidisciplinary team wherever appropriate. This helps ensure care remains aligned with rehabilitation goals, changing needs and desired outcomes.

Oversight is achieved through a combination of clinical leadership, regular package reviews, competency management, supervision, observations and digital care monitoring.

Our Care Managers and Clinical Managers remain actively involved in package delivery, reviewing care plans, monitoring quality indicators and identifying opportunities to improve outcomes. Care packages are regularly assessed to ensure they remain safe, effective and person-centred.

All Support Workers receive mandatory training and any package-specific training required for the individual they support.

Competencies are assessed and reviewed on an ongoing basis, with regular observations, supervision and refresher training to ensure standards are maintained and care continues to be delivered safely and effectively.

Quality assurance is embedded throughout our services. Regular reviews include consideration of incidents, risk assessments, medication management, equipment checks, care documentation, client feedback and care delivery processes. Where issues are identified, action can be taken quickly to ensure the package remains safe and effective.

Our priority is maintaining continuity and reducing disruption for the client. Through ongoing package management, regular reviews, staff supervision, competency monitoring and close communication with the multidisciplinary team, we aim to identify potential issues early and address them proactively. This helps create more sustainable packages and reduces the risk of avoidable breakdowns in care.

Once a referral is received, a member of our team will discuss the client's circumstances, goals and requirements in detail.

We will review available information, identify the most appropriate care solution and, where appropriate, arrange an assessment. From there, we can begin recruitment, care planning, training and mobilisation of the package.

Throughout the process, we work closely with the case manager and wider multidisciplinary team to ensure the package is aligned with agreed outcomes and objectives.

We have experience supporting privately funded, publicly funded and litigation-funded care packages, including:

  • NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC)
  • Integrated Care Board (ICB) funding
  • Local authority funding
  • Direct Payments
  • Personal Health Budgets
  • Deputyship-managed funds
  • Personal injury and clinical negligence settlements
  • Private funding arrangements
