Fast-response care when you need it most

Emergency Care

When circumstances change suddenly, we can move quickly. Same-day starts are available in many cases, and our 24-hour line is always open.

When we can help

Sometimes care cannot wait.

Families contact us in all sorts of urgent situations. What they have in common is that things have changed and they need someone reliable in place quickly. We understand that, and we respond accordingly.

Hospital discharge

Your loved one is being discharged from hospital sooner than expected. The ward needs a care package confirmed before they can go home. We can assess quickly and often begin care the same day as discharge.

Current carer unavailable

Your existing carer has had to stop suddenly, whether through illness, resignation or other circumstances. We can step in and provide cover while a longer-term arrangement is made.

Sudden change in condition

A fall, a health episode or a rapid decline in condition means that the level of care needed has increased overnight. We can respond to that.

Crisis or family emergency

The family member who has been the main carer is suddenly unavailable. Whether through illness, bereavement or any other reason, we can provide emergency cover.

Respite for family carers

Family carers need breaks too. If you need to step away for a few days, we can step in so that your loved one is not left without support.

What to expect when you call

  1. 1 Tell us the situation. We will listen without rushing you.
  2. 2 We carry out a quick telephone assessment to understand the level of care needed.
  3. 3 We confirm what we can provide and by when, usually within an hour of your call.
  4. 4 If same-day care is agreed, we confirm the carer and time of arrival.

A note on honesty

We will always tell you honestly what we can and cannot do in any given timeframe. If we cannot meet your exact needs today, we will say so and help you find who can. We would rather be straight with you than overpromise and underdeliver.
