When unexpected situations arise, families often need support quickly and without stress. That’s where emergency home care comes in offering fast, reliable help when you or a loved one suddenly needs care at home.
What Is Emergency Home Care?
Emergency home care provides immediate, short-notice support for individuals who suddenly find themselves in need of assistance. This might be due to:
A loved one being discharged from hospital earlier than planned
A sudden illness or injury
A family caregiver becoming unwell or unavailable
Rapid deterioration in someone’s health or mobility
An urgent need for respite care
This type of care can be arranged quickly, often within 24 hours (sometimes sooner), to make sure that no one is left without the help they need.
What Does It Include?
Emergency home care can include:
Personal care (washing, dressing, toileting)
Medication support
Meal preparation
Companionship and reassurance
Overnight care
Respite for family caregivers
Help settling back home after a hospital stay
How Can It Help?
Emergency care provides:
Peace of mind – You’re not alone in a crisis.
Continuity – Loved ones can stay at home, in familiar surroundings.
Relief for families – When you’re overwhelmed, help is there.
Prevention of further issues – Quick support can stop problems from getting worse (e.g., falls, missed medication).
A bridge to longer-term care – Emergency support can be a first step while longer care plans are arranged.
