Nurse-led care at home

Live-in nursing care

Living with a complex health condition doesn’t have to mean living away from home. When you choose live-in nursing care from Novus Care, you get specialist support from nursing-trained carers who live with you 24/7. That means you’ll always have the help you need to manage your symptoms, stay comfortable and stay at home.

For you and your family, it’s an affordable and reassuring alternative to a nursing home. You can stay in familiar surroundings, stick to your usual routine and see friends and family as often as you like. And because we tailor our care to you, you’ll know you’re always getting the best possible support for your condition and your unique needs.

What is nurse-led care?

Nurse-led care is a type of specialist care for people living with complex or life-limiting conditions. With nurse-led care, you’re supported by highly experienced carers who are trained to provide expert nursing care at home. They’ll be there around the clock to help you stay safe, maintain your independence and live as comfortably as possible with your condition. Nurse-led care is sometimes called ‘live-in nursing care’ or ‘nurse-led complex care’.

What nurse-led care means for you

At Novus Care, we care about you and your quality of life. That’s why we work with you to create a tailored care plan based on your unique needs and preferences. We’ll start by looking at your medical history and current symptoms. Then we’ll build a nurse-led package of care that puts your comfort first and adapts as your needs change.

For you, it means getting specialised support to stay as comfortable as possible at home. And it means staying as independent as possible, too. Our carers are there to give you as much or as little support as you need to live life your way. You’re free to ask for help as and when you want it.

Live-in nursing care vs residential care

We believe that private nursing care at home is the best option for most people. But we also know that everyone is different – and some people might prefer residential care (moving into a nursing home). To help you decide, here’s a quick comparison between live-in nursing care and residential care.
