Emergency care that truly makes a difference
We are always here to help people in desperate need of support.
At Care Package, we are always helping people at home in their hour of need. From the moment we take your call, we’ll always endeavour to have one of our carers with you in your home to support you within 24 hours so that you’re never alone.
Urgent support in your home
We aim to provide you with emergency care within 24 hours of your initial call. This is subject to carer availability and the complexity of your needs.
Fully trained carers
It’s our promise that you’ll only ever get support from our fully-trained carers. No agency staff, no untrained care staff, and no compromises.
High quality care
Emergency care doesn’t have to mean a lower standard of support. We’ll make sure you receive the comprehensive, person-centred care you need.
Supporting our customers every step of the way
We are always in constant touch with our valued clients to learn how the support they receive from their local Care Package Plus care team is helping them maintain their independence, confidence, and security while continuing to live comfortably in their own homes.
Who is emergency care for?
Emergency care is for anyone in need of additional support at short notice.
Sometimes events can happen so fast that families are left wondering how they will cope. Whether there’s been an accident, a sudden illness or you’ve been let down by your current carer, we’re here to help at the last minute – even if you have complex needs.
Whatever your support needs, most of our branches can provide emergency care to you in your home within 24 hours of your initial phone call. Below are some of the instances in which we often find our customers requesting emergency care at home.
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 cover
If your normal carer needs a break or lets you down, emergency care can make sure your support continues
Sudden illness
An unexpected diagnosis or a virus can leave you tired and unable to undertake your normal chores
Discharged from hospital
You may require emergency care if you’ve just left hospital and need to recover and rehabilitate
How can we help?
Holistic, person-centred care that is fully tailored around your own needs.
We’ve got our experienced staff onboard 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 care 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 and catheter care, mobility support, and so much more.
