Some unplanned eventualities in daily life require immediate professional help, support and care. Such events can move so quickly that they can feel daunting and overwhelming, with family members left wondering how they will cope with juggling everything when presented with an immediate crisis.

The circumstances where an emergency live-in carer is required are numerous. It could be that a loved one has an accident or fall, or they return home from the hospital much earlier than expected. Health conditions can develop or worsen, or immediate unplanned surgery may be required.

Other typical circumstances that benefit from urgently implemented home care include:

• Emergency care to cover for a family member who is usually the primary carer

• Emergency respite care

• A flare-up of a previous illness or condition

• Discharge from hospital after suffering from conditions such as flu, pneumonia or Covid-19

• Emergency palliative care for someone with a terminal illness

• Following a sports accident

These situations often require 24-hour convalescent home care at short notice, which Lillyfields can provide to take the weight off your shoulders and give you peace of mind. This type of care is often required for a short period to ensure that the needs of a loved one are being met and that time to recover and recuperate is possible.
