Continuing Care at Clearwater

NHS Continuing Care calls upon Clearwater in London.
One of Clearwater's London-based care homes is working with a London PCT providing short-term care for a quadriplegic person with learning disabilities. Having lived at home with care from her mother, the individual was hospitalised following an accident. However, with on-going care needs and a longer term programme required for recovery, Clearwater was identified by her healthcare commissioning team. The team had previously met with the care home when reviewing care for another person. They were impressed with the skillsets demonstrated by the Clearwater care staff and their ability to provide intensive care services with additional support provided by the district nursing team.
Tony McLean, Chief Executive of Clearwater Care continues; "Continuing Care is high on the healthcare agenda to free up much-needed bed spaces. Taking on people who are receiving NHS care as part of their continuing road to recovery is testament to the quality of care and support we can bring to such individuals. We are delighted that this recognition is bringing more service users to Clearwater, with us providing short, intensive periods of care preparing for them to return back home or onwards to their next placement."
