What is emergency care?
If you need care support quickly, we’re here to help. Our specialised urgent care support is designed to be by your side when you need it the most. We provide sensitive, person-centred care in the event of an unexpected incident occurring such as accidents, injuries and illness, or where your usual carer is unable to support you.
Emergency care is versatile and can cover a wide range of needs and concerns, from personal care and medical assistance to mobility support and housekeeping.
Our holistic approach includes carefully selecting experienced and highly skilled care professionals with empathic, sensitive personalities and specialist knowledge to enable them to provide you with the urgent care you need.
Types of emergency care
Emergency care can fall into a number of different categories depending on your needs.
Emergency visiting care

Who is emergency care best suited to?
Emergency care needs can arise for different reasons. We provide tailored urgent care support to a variety of individuals in a number of situations, including:
- After an accident: If you struggle to manage daily activities by yourself at home following an accident, emergency care can support you until you get back on your feet.
- Sudden illness: Unexpected illness can leave you unable to manage day-to-day by yourself – emergency care can cover you whilst you get back to full health.
- Post-hospital discharge: Many people require emergency care following discharge from hospital after an unexpected injury or illness, or post-surgery, to support them with daily activities until they recover sufficiently to take care of themselves.
- Carer cover: Should your usual carer need a break or you are let down at the last-minute, emergency care can plug the gap and ensure that your needs continue to be met at home.
