Carer availability for every circumstance

We understand that circumstances may change quickly as they unfold, which is why we’re proactive about ensuring we’ve always got plenty of local carer availability for those times when our customers really need support.

How can we help? Holistic, person-centred care that is fully tailored around your own needs.

We’ve got over 30 years’ experience in providing compassionate, transformative care to people in the familiar surroundings of their own homes. We focus on enabling our customers to be dignified, comfortable and independent through a range of practical, physical and emotional support services.

Respite at home: If you’re caring for a loved one but unexpectedly find yourself unable to fulfil your carer responsibilities, we can step in at short notice and ensure they aren’t left isolated or unsupported. Your local care manager will make sure they understand every aspect of your loved one’s care requirements so that the transition is smooth and seamless.
Coming out of hospital: When a loved one near the end of life is due to be discharged from hospital, you may think the only option for them is to move to a nursing home. However, with support from a live-in carer, they can return to the familiar surroundings of the home that they love, where their carer can help them spend their final weeks in relative comfort, dignity and peace.
Care if your needs change: If you’re living with a complex condition, it’s only natural that your care needs will develop. When that time comes, live-in care may be the natural next step. Perhaps you’re currently receiving support on a part-time basis, or are being looked after by a loved one. 24-hour help from a live-in carer allows you to manage your symptoms and maintain your lifestyle.
Urgent rehabilitation: Live-in care is an ideal option for anyone seeking support during a period of rehabilitation, as it provides you with round-the-clock assistance from someone who can aid your recovery. Our live-in carers can help with medication, light medical relief, physiotherapy exercises, continence, stomas, catheters, mobility support, and so much more.

Rapid response care FAQs

What is rapid response care?: Rapid response care is support that is provided at short notice to those who unexpectedly and urgently finding themselves needing additional care - whether there’s been an accident, a sudden illness or you’ve been let down by your current carer.
How soon after I am discharged from hospital can I receive care?: After hospital care can be arranged for the same day that you’re discharged, so that you’re supported as soon as you get home. Depending on the reason for your stay and the level of care you’ll require, your doctors and nurses will discuss your discharge with you and sometimes other professionals, too, so that you can prepare for when you leave hospital. For those who are discharged at short notice, we can arrange care in as little as 24 hours.
Can a live-in carer provide expert end-of-life care as soon as possible?: Our live-in carers are all trained to provide compassionate, reassuring end-of-life care at home, providing the whole family with invaluable reassurance and emotional support. End-of-life care allows you to remain in the place you feel most comfortable and safe as you approach the final months and weeks of your life.
Can I get same-day emergency care?: We are, in some instances, able to provide customers with same-day emergency live-in care. The availability of same-day care will depend on factors such as your level of need and how busy we are at that particular time. Call us today to find out how soon we can provide you with a carer in your home.
