Healthcare Support Services
Living with complex health conditions and maintaining your independence often requires specialist support that goes beyond basic care. We provide comprehensive healthcare assistance that enables young adults with complex needs to live independently while receiving expert support for their health conditions.
We understand that healthcare needs rarely exist in isolation – they profoundly impact social wellbeing and everyday life. This is where our approach truly stands apart. While traditional healthcare support services might focus solely on clinical needs, we recognise and address the complete picture of how health conditions affect your social interactions, emotional wellbeing, and daily routines.
Our experienced team works collaboratively with healthcare professionals to deliver personalised support that ensures safety, comfort and independence. We focus on enabling people to manage their health conditions effectively while maintaining quality of life in their own homes.

What's the difference between healthcare support/assistance and general healthcare?
The key differences are in who provides the care and what type of support is delivered:
Healthcare Support/Assistance (provided by PA Services For You):
- Support with managing prescribed medications
- Help using specialist medical equipment
- Assistance following treatment plans
- Monitoring health conditions
- Coordinating with NHS professionals
- Support with therapy programmes
- Non-clinical care in your own home
General Healthcare (provided by NHS/medical professionals):
- Medical diagnosis and treatment
- Clinical procedures and interventions
- Prescribing medications
- Nursing care and wound management
- Medical tests and assessments
- Hospital-based care
- Emergency medical services
While we work closely with NHS teams to support your health needs, we do not provide direct medical treatment or clinical care. Our role is to help you manage your health conditions effectively at home through personalised support that promotes independence while ensuring safety and wellbeing.
