A Trusted Partner for Legal Professionals

We work alongside solicitors, deputyship teams, professional trustees and litigation professionals to deliver specialist care packages for individuals with complex injuries, disabilities and long-term health conditions.

Solicitors and deputyship teams need confidence that care arrangements are appropriate, evidence-based, sustainable and capable of evolving as circumstances change.

Whether supporting an interim care package, a post-settlement arrangement or a long-term rehabilitation pathway, our focus is on delivering care that is clinically robust, sustainable and tailored to the individual's needs and goals.

As part of Active Care Group, we can support individuals across a wider continuum of care, helping create seamless transitions between rehabilitation, residential services, supported living and care at home.

A Fully Managed Service

We provide far more than care delivery alone. Our teams manage every aspect of package mobilisation and ongoing delivery, helping reduce administrative burden and ensuring consistent standards across the life of the package. This includes:

  • Recruitment of care teams
  • Mandatory and specialist training
  • Clinical competencies
  • Ongoing competency management
  • Care planning and risk assessments
  • Staff management and rotas
  • Holiday and sickness cover
  • Clinical oversight
  • Governance and quality assurance
  • Regular package reviews

This allows legal professionals and deputyship teams to have confidence that operational delivery is being actively managed and monitored.

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.

Supporting Catastrophic Injury and Complex Needs

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.

Our Approach

Many clients require highly personalised support that goes beyond day-to-day care, incorporating rehabilitation programmes, complex clinical interventions and input from multiple professionals. By bringing these elements together into a single, coordinated package, we help individuals achieve greater independence, stability and quality of life.

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, medication management, and performance reporting systems provide real-time visibility of care delivery, helping ensure care is delivered safely, consistently and in line with agreed objectives.

For legal professionals, this provided:

  • Stronger clinical governance
  • Greater transparency
  • Robust audit trails
  • Improved communication
  • Clear reporting and oversight

For legal professionals, this means greater continuity, stronger collaboration, and access to specialist expertise at different stages of a client's journey, without needing to navigate multiple unrelated providers.

Many of the individuals we support are transitioning home following specialist rehabilitation or continuing to work towards rehabilitation goals in the community. Through the wider Active Care Group, we can also support individuals continuing to access Active Neuro rehabilitation services, helping maintain continuity between rehabilitation and life at home.

As such, care plans are reviewed regularly by qualified healthcare professionals and, as a minimum, undergo formal review every six months. Additional reviews are completed whenever there is a significant change in needs, health, circumstances, risks or desired outcomes. This helps ensure support remains current, effective and aligned with the individual's goals.

This can help support package reviews, funding reviews and wider discussions regarding ongoing care requirements.

Many home care providers are designed to deliver routine domiciliary care. Active Assistance specialises in supporting individuals with complex injuries, disabilities and clinical needs.

Once a referral is received, a member of our team will review the information provided and discuss the individual's circumstances, care requirements and desired outcomes.

Where appropriate, we can undertake an assessment, develop a proposed care solution and begin planning recruitment, training and mobilisation of the package. Throughout the process, we maintain close communication with all relevant stakeholders to ensure support is aligned with the client's needs.
