What does Emergency Care at Home include?

Life can be unpredictable. Emergencies can take us by surprise and often we are unprepared when they arise. For many people, unforeseen circumstances can result in having to find additional support quickly, which can be stressful. At Careena Homecare, we aim to ease this burden and provide high quality care as soon as possible.
Different types of emergencies can result in different care needs. We offer a range of services to help you or your loved one with any needs, depending on the level of care required. We always endeavour to provide care as soon as possible. Our Emergency Home Care can include:

Emergency Live-in Care

Emergency Live-in Care is a suitable option if you or your loved one suddenly need continuous care. With this type of Home Care, a fully trained Live-in Carer moves into the home and provides care whenever it’s needed. If you or your loved one would benefit from receiving round the clock support, Live-in Care may be the right option.

Emergency Respite Care

If you’re a primary caregiver to a loved one, ensuring their comfort and safety is highly important. However, in the event of an emergency, you may not be available to provide support. In this case, Emergency Respite Care can help.

Emergency After Hospital Care

Being admitted to hospital due to a sudden injury or illness can be worrying. You or your loved one may need to arrange care to be discharged. However, a lot of the time, many people don’t know when they’ll be discharged until the last minute. Fortunately, Emergency After Hospital Care can help.

Emergency Stroke Care

Although some people may be more likely to have a stroke than others, it can happen to anyone and often with no warning signs. Depending on the significance of the stroke, it can leave long term impacts and can affect how you or your loved one lives. Many people require additional support at home following a stroke however as they can come suddenly, it can be difficult finding care at short notice. Our Emergency Stroke Care service can help in these situations.

Emergency Palliative Care

Being diagnosed with a terminal illness unexpectedly can result in a great amount of stress. The thought of moving to a care home or hospice can be unsettling, especially when you or your loved one are vulnerable. Emergency Palliative Care can help you or your loved one to continue living at home in those last few months.

Chemotherapy Home Care

Chemotherapy is a common treatment for most types of cancers however, it can often cause a range of symptoms that can affect daily life.

Hospital Discharge

Being discharged from hospital can be a worrying time.

Emergency Live-in Care can also be provided if you or your loved one would benefit from the continuity of support after leaving the hospital.

What are the benefits of Emergency Care at Home?

Cost Effective

Live-in Care can be particularly cost effective when compared with a care home, especially for couples. Live-in Care removes daily admin charges like making changes to care visits or cancellation fees that may occur with domiciliary care.

1:1 Support

Unlike most other forms of care, Live-in Care is truly one to one. Your Live-in Carer provides undivided support to you at home whenever you need them. You remain in charge of routines with the added comfort of a companion.

Less Disruptive

Moving to a care home can be disruptive. Stay in the comfort of familiar surroundings and avoid the stress of leaving your home. Loved ones can visit you at home any time of the day, without the restriction of visiting hours.

Enjoy Company

Living alone can be hard but the many unfamiliar faces of a care home can also be overwhelming. A regular Live-in Carer can provide companionship as well as privacy and independence.

Personalised Care

We’ll work with you to create a personalised care plan tailored to your specific needs and preferences. We continually monitor and review your care plan to make sure your needs are always met.

Stay Local

You’ll continue to enjoy your usual routines in familiar surroundings. Unlike residential care, you or your loved one will remain in the community you call home.

Safety

Studies show Live-in Care is safer than a care home. People receiving Live-in Care have half as many hip fractures as those living in care homes.
