Complex Care

Glenside is able to provide round-the-clock intensive level 3 care for patients with high- dependency and complex medical and nursing needs within its Wylye Ward. These may include those requiring ventilatory support, those in a coma, Persistent Vegetative State, Minimally Conscious or with 'locked-in' syndrome. Full respiratory support and management is provided under the direction of a consultant in Rehabilitation Medicine with support from an intensive care specialist. Subject to assessment, ventilator and tracheostomy weaning can be facilitated.

Glenside also provides complex care for patients within Avon Ward on the main pathway or at Pembroke Lodge and Newton House, which are long-stay homes that provide specialist medical and nursing care for patients with complex and high dependency needs, including tracheostomy management.
