Complex care at home can include tracheostomy care, ventilation, PEG feeding, seizure management and more. Getting those right matters. Where a package needs clinical oversight, it's led by one of our registered nurses, who trains the team and checks their competency.

But clinical skill is only half of it.

The other half is knowing the person. How they tell you what they want, what their mornings look like, what makes them laugh. That's what helps a carer notice when something isn't quite right, and it's what lets care settle into someone's life at home.

If you're planning complex care for yourself, a family member or someone on your caseload, our nurse-led team is happy to talk it through.

Today is World Cerebral Palsy Day.

A day to recognise the people living with cerebral palsy, and the families, friends and communities alongside them.

Cerebral palsy can be a different experience for every person. The way someone moves, communicates, learns, connects with others and goes about their day can all look different.

Behind every diagnosis is a person, with their own personality, interests, ambitions, routines and things that matter to them.

Today, we're taking a moment to listen, learn and recognise the people behind cerebral palsy, not just the condition. 💚

To mark International Day of Sign Languages, we welcomed Karen to our Manchester office for a BSL session with some of our team.

Our North West Complex Care nurses and case managers, members of our HR team and trainer Wendy had a go at learning the basics, from the alphabet and family names to emotions and some care-related signs. And, of course, we couldn't forget the important ones... biscuits and cake!

Karen also shared some of her experience as a medical BSL interpreter, including her work in operating theatres and GP surgeries. Hearing how BSL interpretation is used in medical settings gave our nursing team plenty to think about.

We even came up with our own sign for Routes Healthcare, which you'll see at the end of the video!

Thank you, Karen, for such an enjoyable session and for sharing your knowledge with us. We really enjoyed having you in the office!

A token of appreciation for Destiny 🫶

Destiny is a Complex Carer with our North East team, and her Nurse Case Managers, Lee and Claire, wanted to take a moment to say thank you for everything she does in writing.

The care she gives, the consistency she brings to every visit, and the trust she has built with the person she supports and their family really means something.

Thank you, Destiny, for all that you do. We’re so grateful to have you as part of Routes. 💙

Full postcard reads:

Dear Destiny,

We wanted to thank you for everything you do for [client's name]. The difference you make is clear in how highly both [client] and her family think of you. Their trust in you speaks volumes about the care & commitment you bring to every visit.

You consistently go above & beyond and this is reflected in how smoothly the package of care runs. Your dedication is genuinely valued & does not go unnoticed.

With thanks,
Lee, Claire & the Routes Team x

A message that means the world 💙

We recently heard from the wife of one of our complex care clients in Merseyside, and we wanted to share it with the team who earned it.

He's cared for round the clock with a tracheostomy, ventilation and TPN feeding. When tracheomalacia meant his routine trache changes needed a different approach, the team relearned the process using a bespoke method to keep him safe and comfortable.

His wife told us the team make him laugh every day, keep her going, and go above and beyond for him, for her, and for each other.

That's down to the amazing team - Janet K., Colette S., Kayleigh P., Markerious B., Shay K., Arnel E., Martyn M., Sarah H., Laura P., Niva G. and Brenda N.

Complex care asks a huge amount of a team, clinically and personally. It's brilliant to see that reflected back by the people who live it every day.

Thank you to the entire care team for the amazing care and dedication you provide.

From all of us at Routes, thank you for the difference you make every single day.

A huge congratulations to Alex, our North East Complex Care Carer of the Month for August!

Alex has been recognised for the exceptional care, commitment and enthusiasm she brings to her role. Her dedication and willingness to keep learning are a real credit to her.

We're incredibly proud to have Alex as part of our North East Complex Care team and grateful for everything she does, every day.

Well done, Alex, this is very well deserved! 🫶

CW: Discussions of su***de and ill mental health.

Today is World Su***de Prevention Day - a day to help open up conversations about su***de, challenge the stigma that can surround it, and remind people that support is there.

We're sharing a very personal story from Gemma and her mum, Wendy Mack, who is our Training Manager and also a counsellor.

Gemma has survived three su***de attempts, and in this video she talks openly about her experience, the impact it had on her life and her journey towards recovery.

Together, they offer two very different but closely connected perspectives on su***de and mental ill health: what it can be like to experience it yourself, and what it can mean for the people who love and support you.

Most importantly, Gemma's story is one of recovery. It's a reminder that even when things feel incredibly difficult, life can change, support can help, and there can be more to come.

We believe conversations like this are important. Talking more openly about su***de can help us understand it, reduce the stigma that can make it harder to ask for help, and perhaps help someone feel able to start a conversation of their own.

We're really grateful to Gemma and Wendy for sharing something so personal. We hope their story reaches anyone who might need the reminder that they are not alone, support is available, and there can be a next chapter.

Please take care of yourself while watching and only watch if you feel comfortable doing so. If you feel this subject may be difficult for you right now, it's absolutely okay to leave the video for another time and reach out for support instead. 🫶

Today, we've welcomed Living Well Rochdale back to our Rochdale hub for Know Your Numbers Week! 🧡

Their team are offering blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol and BMI checks, along with advice for anyone wanting to quit smoking. It gives our team the opportunity to take a few minutes out of the day to focus on their own health and wellbeing.

For a lot of us, it can be easy to put your own health on the back burner. Having these checks available at the hub makes it easy for people to pop in and get checked during the working day.

A big thank you to the Living Well Rochdale team for spending the day with us. It was lovely to have you back!

We've opened a new base in Barnsley! 🏠

Recently, our Kirklees team have been providing more home care support to people in Barnsley and surrounding areas.

As our work in the area continues to grow, opening a local base felt like an important next step. It gives our team a dedicated space for training and operational support, while helping us become a more established part of the local community.

We marked opening week with a careers open day, where Lee and Kim from our Kirklees office were joined by Ellie and Leanne from our Recruitment and Compliance team.

Together, they welcomed people interested in joining Routes for interviews, and supported them through the first stages of joining the team.

Our Barnsley office may be a new addition, but our commitment to the area isn't. Having a base here will help us develop a strong local care team, deliver our high-standard training closer to home, and continue delivering reliable, heartfelt care to our community.

Donella, Paulina, Veronica and Nicola, four of our Manchester home care team, are taking on the Sands Ribbon Run this October, a 10km event held during Baby Loss Awareness Week.

Sands - baby loss charity is the UK's leading pregnancy and baby loss charity. They run a free helpline, peer support groups across the UK, and train midwives and healthcare professionals so bereaved parents get the care they deserve.

Every day in the UK, 13 babies die shortly before, during or soon after birth. This is a cause that touches more families than most of us realise.

💜£20 could provide a bereaved family with a memory box, to help them hold on to precious memories of their baby.

💜£35 could fund a support call for someone reaching out after pregnancy loss or the death of a baby.

💜£100 could help fund a dedicated Sands volunteer in a UK hospital.

Donate here: https://fundraising.sands.org.uk/fundraisers/donellaodonnell/ribbon-run-manchester26

Whatever you're able to give, thank you. Good luck to our team, we're cheering you on every step of the way.

There's someone in Dukinfield who wants to stay in their own home. They just need the right support to make it happen.
That's where you come in.
We need a Female Complex Care Assistant Driver to provide specialist 1-2-1 care for a client with complex health needs. You'll work closely with them, learn the clinical skills they need (we'll train you fully), and help them live as independently as possible.
You'll get consistent shifts with the same person. You'll build a real relationship. And you'll go home knowing you've genuinely made their day better.
The details: £14.24/hour, full training in their specific care needs, 24/7 support from our clinical team, and the satisfaction of knowing you're helping someone stay exactly where they want to be.
Need 6 months+ UK care experience and a full UK driving licence.
Ready to be someone's reason they can stay home?
