About Pathfinders Specialist and Complex Care
Complex nursing, rehabilitation and assisted living support is the central focus of Pathfinders Specialist and Complex Care. The service supports older people, younger adults and people with learning, physical or sensory disabilities, with care plans based on individual aims and goals.
A full assessment identifies care needs, while physical therapy and exercise form part of the stated provision. Staff communicate care and rehabilitation arrangements with residents and families, and the kitchen caters for vegetarian, vegan, halal and gluten-free diets. Pathfinders provides residential support where care involves complex needs, ongoing assistance or rehabilitation.

Yes. They offer activities for all patients and include interests and hobbies in the assessment process to support participation in activities they enjoy.
How do they assess the care needed?
The Home Manager carries out a full assessment of care needs, aims and goals, then communicates the care and rehabilitation arrangements with the person or their family.
Can they care for someone with very complex needs?
Yes. They specialise in complex care, with staff trained in different care needs and regular training to support people to live as happily and independently as possible.
Can residents bring pets to Pathfinders?
Most pets can visit during the day by arrangement with senior management. Well-behaved, vaccinated pets are also welcome during respite stays.
How much does Pathfinders Specialist and Complex Care cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Pathfinders Specialist and Complex Care for its weekly fee. As a guide, Nottinghamshire council paid on average £1,085 a week for a nursing care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £1,102 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
