Crisis Care

Inevitably, situations at home sometimes change very rapidly; illnesses occur, or care packages break down unexpectedly and for these reasons a Crisis Service is offered. This enables individuals who cannot remain at home to move to our care home in Hampshire rapidly in order to prevent further problems arising. This often results in averting the need for hospital admission.

With Registered Nurses and Carers staying with the patient for longer periods of time - crisis stays can be for as little as two-three nights to get over a temporary problem but can be extended as required. Not every patient will need this crisis service, but knowing it’s available can provide important peace of mind to patients and caregivers.
