EMERGENCY COVER SERVICES
Many carers worry about what would happen to the person they care for if they were involved in an emergency situation, suddenly taken ill or prevented from looking after the person they care for.
They also tell us that, due to their caring commitments, they feel unable to attend GP or hospital appointments and often lose contact with wider family and friends, leading to feelings of loneliness and isolation.
Therefore we provide emergency cover and significant event cover to help support carers to ensure that their health and well being needs are met.
The service is FREE and available at short notice to carers who need emergency cover which could prevent a crisis occurring and relief for carers who want to ensure that they maintain relationships and have a life alongside their caring role.
How Does Emergency Cover Service Work?
If you are interested in this service then please feel free to give us a call on the number at the bottom of the page and speak to a member of the team to discuss how support can be put in place to help you in an emergency or significant event in your life.
While on the phone if you are interested we will take some personal details from you and register you with us, if this is not an option we can arrange a home visit with you and the person you care for to complete an emergency support plan. Once your plan has been agreed to you will receive a unique membership card to carry with you at all times.
In an emergency we will contact any people you have named in your plan to ensure the person you care for is looked after.
Should the named people be unavailable, we will arrange for our qualified care support staff to look after the person for up to 72 hours while the emergency is being resolved, enabling social services to arrange any ongoing support, if required.
