What Interserve Healthcare does

Interserve Healthcare operates as Advantage Healthcare, a UK-based national homecare provider and subsidiary of City and County Healthcare Group Ltd (CCH Group), delivering complex and domiciliary care services across England and Wales. The company serves approximately 2,900 adults and children with complex medical needs in their own homes, including individuals with brain injuries, spinal injuries, cerebral palsy, tracheostomy/ventilator dependencies, and end-of-life care requirements, supported by a workforce of approximately 1,500 care staff delivering 2,000,000+ hours of complex care and 620,000+ visits annually. Core offerings span Live-In Care, Spinal and Brain Injury Care, Palliative Care, Respite Care, Hospital-to-Home transitions, Academic Support for students, Autism Spectrum Support, Home Therapies (IV, renal dialysis), and Social Companionship, with Strand Nursing operating as a premium self-pay sub-brand since 1974.

The underlying technology layer is the Access Care Planning mobile platform (formerly Mobizio, configured with Access Group), deployed across 320+ staff tablets since September 2019 to manage homecare visits, replace paper timesheets, and ensure GDPR/information-governance compliance. Clinical governance is structured around the NHS 6 Cs framework, Caldicott data protection principles, designated Caldicott Guardian oversight, and CQC registration (Yorkshire service rated 'Good' across all five categories in January 2020). The business model is fundamentally a recurring-revenue, quote-based care delivery model: pricing is bespoke per care assessment, billed monthly, with funding sourced from NHS/CCG commissioning (England), Local Health Boards (Wales), local authority means-tested funding, NHS Personal Health Budgets, case management/personal injury settlements, and private self-pay. Go-to-market is nurse-led enterprise field sales via regional Care Service Managers who directly engage Clinical Commissioning Groups, Local Health Boards, case managers, and self-pay clients, supported by digital marketing (website, Facebook, LinkedIn) and a dedicated recruitment portal at cch.careers.
