Empowerment and Choice: The approach emphasizes empowering young people to make decisions about their care, promoting autonomy and self-esteem. This includes choices about daily activities, health treatments, and how they wish to live their life.

At Mega Nursing & Care, we recognise that young people, especially those aged 13 and above, have unique needs and require specialised care that respects their individuality and supports their growth and development. Our Young Persons' Care service is designed to be child-led while working closely with families to ensure that routines and schedules are prioritised for the child's benefit. We take an outcomes- focused approach, aiming to provide comprehensive support that promotes independence and well-being for your loved one.
Our Young Persons' Care service begins with an initial contact where we discuss your child's specific needs and preferences. Following this, we schedule two assessments conducted by one of our experienced care coordinators, involving both the parents or guardians and the young person. This ensures that the young person is fully included in the planning process. We then arrange a meet and greet with one of our specially trained carers to ensure your loved one feels comfortable and has a chance to build a rapport with their caregiver. Our carers are dedicated professionals trained to support young adults through various situations, whether it's managing a medical condition, living with a learning disability, or dealing with mobility limitations. We are committed to creating a safe and supportive environment where your young loved one feels heard and valued.
