How we work...
Our aim is to support each and every person using our service to live the very best life they can, by assisting them in gently – and safely – pushing the boundaries of their condition, according to their wishes.
We begin by working very closely with each individual (and their family) to build a bespoke package of support which suits their clinical needs, as well as fulfilling their wider aspirations
How we care...
Care is overseen – and very closely supervised – by a dedicated complex care nurse and delivered by a team of highly-trained, hand-picked and carefully-matched support workers.
Our investment in clinical expertise and values-based recruitment means we can safely support a very wide range of people, including babies and children needing specialist paediatric care, young people who have experienced a life-altering accident, adults living with long-term, complex conditions, people needing support with reablement after a stay in hospital, as well as providing expert, sensitive and compassionate end of life care.
Who we support...
We are here to help people be their fullest self, no matter how complex their health condition, no matter how old or young they are.
Cavalry has a highly-experienced in-house team of specialist complex care adult and paediatric nurses which means we are able to safely support a wide range of clinical interventions, including respiratory and airway support, as well as specialist feeding, stoma and catheter care. The following list is by no means exhaustive:
- Tracheostomy care.
- Spinal Care.
- Ventilation: CPAP, BPAP, NIPPY.
- Cough assist and Assisted cough.
- Oxygen therapy.
- Support with feeding via PEG, Mic-key and other gastrostomy tubes.
- Stoma and catheter care.
- Epilepsy medication
We also have an in-house team of Clinical Nurse Educators who are able to design and deliver bespoke courses to our staff to cover every individual need and condition – including neurological conditions and spinal injuries – and to ensure that the clinical support we provide is an exact fit.
Our education team includes Senior Nursing Lecturers and Specialist Practitioners. Other care providers often call on the expertise within our clinical education team as our approach to training is market-leading.
We’ve also delivered training at national conferences and in partnership with medical centres of excellence.
Most importantly, our support is ALWAYS person-centred: as well as carefully attending to clinical needs, we will always also focus on what people would like to do with their lives – no wish is too big or too small – and we try our absolute best to make it happen.
Cavalry was founded by a family in which removing as many of the disabling elements of ill-health was part of daily life. This ethos runs through everything we do.
