Case Study 1

Andrew's story: paediatric care gave me better life

Andrew is a 10 year old young person who is diagnosed with infant onset epilepsy due to microcephaly and motor disorder following global developmental delay. He has other medical complications such as dysphagia- fed on gastrostomy, visual inattention and severe learning disabilities. Andrew’s parents initially contacted Verity Healthcare to provide care services on a private arrangement. After the initial assessment, the Care Manager contacted the local continuing healthcare to discuss funding and cost of care as well as housing benefits. After several contacts from the manager the continuing healthcare team agreed to fund Andrew’s care for around the clock nurse-led care at home. Our dedicated paediatric care team implemented the nurse-led care services and supported Andrew with suctioning tracheostomy care and naso-gastric feeding as well as administration of medicines and nutrition through the Peg tubes. Andrew receives personal care support such as bathing and dressing/undressing using different equipment and medical aids.  The team supports Andrew with physiotherapy sessions by  helping in standing and body exercises on standing frame. We have supported Andrew for the past 4 years and care services have been reviewed and updated to meet his changing needs as he grows. Andrew is now living happily at home with his family and responding very positively to our nurse-lead team.
