Emergency home care

Emergency care is suited for those in need of home care at short notice. Our emergency home care gives you support at the times you need it the most.

Sometimes situations can happen at the blink of an eye, leaving a family wondering how they will cope. Whether you’ve been let down by your current carer or there’s been an accident, a sudden illness we’re here to help at the last minute. So if you need emergency care it’s likely that we can despatch one of our carers to help.

Call us on the number indicated on our contact page if you need home care in a hurry. We can arrange for care in as little as an hour for certain areas. We’re able to offer emergency care on both a visiting basis and live-in basis. This is subject to carer availability.

After an accident

If you have an accident and can’t manage from day to day, a carer can help out until you’re back on your feet.

Carer relief

If your usual carer needs a break or lets you down, emergency care can make sure you’re the care you require continues.

Discharged from hospital

You may require emergency care if you’ve just left hospital and need to recover and rehabilitate. For example after giving birth.

Sudden illness

An unexpected illness or a virus can leave you unable to undertake your normal chores.

Here are some of the many ways our carers can help:

Personal care

Your carer can help with many aspects of personal care, including managing a stoma or a catheter.

Continence support

An emergency carer is able to provide dedicated continence support, as well as helping with bathing and dressing

Mobility support

Our carers can provide safe, secure assistance in helping you to get out of bed or move about the home.

Light household chores

From tidying bedroom and making your bed, your carer can help with just about any light household chores.

Preparing meals and feeding

Your carer can help prepare meals and help you to eat your favourite meals and snacks.

Mobility support

All of our carers can provide mobility support, so they can help you to move safely around your home and get out and about.

We try to make arranging care simple and stress-free so that we can focus on what really matters the most: your care needs. Speak to our team today to begin your journey within as little as 24 hours or less.
