UK Private Nursing for Paediatric Care at Home: ITU Nurse Homecare Support with Ambition 24hours Direct

• Thursday, 27 November 2008

The demand for private nursing at home by the parents of young children is growing rapidly, according to Ambition 24hours Direct. Parents increasingly are choosing specialist support in a domestic setting for a child wherever possible, according to the homecare agency, to reduce the period of stay in hospital.

Ambition 24hours can provide ITU (Intensive Therapy Unit) nurses nationwide for homecare, professional staff who have had experience in working in the special units in hospital where very ill people are given extra care. The agency can provide support in cases where a ventilator may be required or a tracheostomy is used to assist breathing.

In other instances, where parents require less specialised and more general support, Ambition 24hours offers support from a non-medically qualified carer. Care assistants are trained to deliver essential personal care and assistance, including help with simple domestic tasks.

Ambition 24hours offers care packages for just a few hours each day or week, up to 24 hours a day live-in care, for people of any age who are undergoing treatment at home or who are rehabilitating. Funding may be available from the local PCT (Primary Care Trust), County Council or private healthcare provider, where provision has been made.

Specialist nurses and care assistants help patients and their families with their medical and other needs in liaison with a GP and other healthcare providers. All agency staff ensure family members receive dignified support during what can be a stressful and upsetting time.

Ambition 24hours offers home care support and private nursing packages for mental health care, post-operative rehabilitation, eating disorders, paediatric and geriatric support, learning disabilities, and oncology homecare.
