Emergency Home Care Services In Lincolnshire & Yorkshire

The need for care assistance can come from nowhere and you may find yourself or your loved ones in a position of needing a carer to make life a little easier. Care homes may not be an option for many people, especially if you wish to retain some independence, do not fall into the category of requiring full-time care or wish to remain in the familiar surroundings of your home.

What Is Emergency Care?

Emergency care covers any illness, injury or condition that occurs quickly, out of the blue.

Emergency care at home is needed when something changes suddenly — like a fall, medical event, diagnosis, or breakdown in existing support.

We provide carers who are experienced in responding to unexpected or complex needs with skill, empathy, and calm reassurance.

They help with:

  • Every day personal care and hygiene

  • Mobility and moving around safely

  • Administering or prompting medication

  • Preparing meals and ensuring good hydration

  • Providing companionship and emotional reassurance

  • Assisting with home tasks and pet care

This kind of care helps ease the pressure on families and ensures that your loved one is not alone during a vulnerable moment.

Emergency Care At Home Vs Care Homes

In some cases, it may be possible to use the NHS for a period of time to aid recovery. We’d never recommend moving someone against medical advice. There may, however, come a time when a patient is discharged or the benefits of being at home outweigh the reasons to remain in the care of the NHS or a care home. Private emergency care is not always suitable for everyone, though it may be a lot more preferable than no help at all or full-time care within a hospital, hospice, care home or institution.

We operate a one-on-one ratio for carers to patients, ensuring that consistent staff and familiar faces are all part of the service. We understand that remaining in your own home, surrounded by familiar faces, furnishings and objects may speed up the recovery process or provide more comfort than the alternatives.

Our care staff are matched to you; ensuring a bond that cannot be broken. More than just carers, we want your personalities and interests to overlap. Support workers should provide companionship, activities and conversations as well as the duty of care you expect. A safe, loving, caring environment is at the forefront of our company values. We believe the combination of your home and our care staff will provide much-needed support at a difficult time to aid the healing process.

What Are The Benefits Of Emergency Carers At Home?

  • Staying at home provides the least inconvenience, change or disruption to the life you are used to.

  • We do not restrict your access to friends and family or impose time limits on visits.

  • We try to keep the same carers dedicated to the same clients rather than lots of different staff members.

  • We can help keep couples together. Unlike care homes, we believe that you should be with you partner.

  • Your personal space, privacy and dignity will be respected by our carers.

  • We do not carry extra costs or cut corners. You let us know exactly what you want help with, which days and for how long. Our minimum call time is one hour and we fill that time with the help you need.

  • We can help with the everyday tasks that you may find difficult; from cleaning and washing to hoovering or meal times.

  • Keep your routines. We fit around your lifestyle.

  • Home care can be a much more affordable option than care homes.
