How can Emergency Elderly Care help?

Hospital Discharge

Being discharged from hospital can be a worrying time. This is particularly the case if you or your loved one are recovering from an illness or surgery or feel more vulnerable than before entering the hospital. The thought of returning home without the constant support of care professionals can be unsettling.

With our Emergency Care at Home, care can be set up and ready for when you or your loved one returns home. Knowing care is already in place can provide valuable peace of mind. 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.

Receiving a Diagnosis

It can be a hard and scary time receiving a diagnosis which could impact your or your loved one’s ability to live independently at home. With some conditions, such as a stroke or some types of cancer, there may be no symptoms. Receiving a diagnosis unexpectedly can be devastating.

With our Emergency Home Care, a Care Worker can be there to provide care and support for you or your loved one at short notice. At Alina Homecare, all our Care Workers have received excellent training so they can provide high quality care. They provide care and support for many conditions including dementia, Parkinson’s, Multiple Sclerosis, cancer and more.

After an Accident

More than a quarter of people aged 65 or older will experience a fall each year. This can result in not only injury but also a decrease in confidence, making living at home less comfortable.¹

If you or your loved one have recently had a fall or experienced another accident and require additional support at short notice, our Emergency Home Care can help. Our Care Workers help with whatever is needed around the home to give that extra boost of confidence and peace of mind. If you or your loved one have experienced an injury from a fall, our dedicated Care Workers can help administer or apply medication and can help with pain management.

Covering for a Carer

Often, things come up unexpectedly. If you’re a caregiver for a loved one and suddenly cannot provide care for a period of time, the thought of leaving your loved one alone can be unsettling and can cause additional stress. Luckily, our Emergency Respite Care can help.

With this type of Home Care service, a Care Worker will provide care regularly in your absence, or the absence of a primary caregiver. Our fully trained and dedicated Care Workers take time to understand exact needs and routines, so nothing has to change. This can provide all important peace of mind when you or a primary caregiver experience an emergency.

What are the benefits of Emergency Care at Home?

Familiarity

Receiving Home Care in the event of an emergency allows you or your loved one to remain in a familiar environment. Being surrounded by usual comforts and being able to complete daily routines can have a positive impact on mental health and emotional wellbeing. This is especially the case if you or your loved one are returning home from hospital.

Independence

Our Emergency Care at Home service allows you or your loved one to preserve independence for as long as you choose. Staying at home means daily routines can be continued and you or your loved one can decide how to spend your time. All care plans are assessed regularly and adapted if required to meet changing needs so independence can be maintained.

Reduced Stress

Emergencies happen when you least expect and a lot of the time, leave people unprepared and can lead to feelings of worry. This is particularly the case if you or your loved one are faced with the option of having to move to a care home or other residential facility. Our Emergency Care at Home can reduce these feelings by providing a team of Care Workers at short notice.

Community

In the event of an emergency, being surrounded by friends and family and remaining in the community you know and love can bring a great deal of comfort. Knowing loved ones are nearby and can visit whenever they choose can positively boost mental wellbeing. Choosing to receive Care at Home allows this to happen which can be extremely valuable in an emergency.

Added Reassurance

Emergencies are often highly stressful and can induce extreme anxiety and worry. This is especially true if you or your loved one have experienced a situation where you are now more vulnerable or live alone. Our Emergency Home Care aims to relieve these feelings and provide support and reassurance at home for added confidence and peace of mind.

Cost Effective

Emergency Home Care or Live-in Care can be more cost effective than other alternatives such as a care home. You or your loved one can adjust the level of care required as needs change. This flexibility is useful in an emergency. In a care home, the care often isn’t one to one whereas with home care, a care worker will dedicate their focus to you or your loved one.

Cost of Emergency Care at Home

The cost of our Emergency Care at Home service is determined by different factors. Firstly, it depends on the level of care and support required. This can include the service chosen, such as visiting care or Live-in Care. It also depends on the frequency of care required and your location.

In the event of an emergency, you or your loved one may also be entitled to grants or other forms of other financial support to help with funding Home Care. Complete our cost calculator to learn more about the cost of Emergency Care at Home.

“Wow, the Manager and her Team have been amazing. We managed to get Mum out of hospital, but it was three days before she woke up and asked for a cup of tea. The Team have been so supportive, flexible, and encouraging, coming on board at a day’s notice and managing to fit us in.

They’ve been there for us in our hour of need, especially the Manager who rearranged her childcare so she could help us in a crisis over a weekend. We now have Mum in a much better condition than when she came home and are now looking at the next stage.”

“Alina Homecare took my care package as an emergency when my Husband was admitted to hospital. They went above and beyond to get my care in place rapidly and the staff have been fantastic, caring and supportive.

They ensure I’m eating and taking care of myself. They also pick up things that aren’t right and escalate them as needed. The Team Leader has been fantastic and has gone above and beyond to get the care set up and in place within 24 hours.

I’d highly recommend them as a supportive and caring organisation that will sit and listen if you need to talk, as well as being proactive and giving you the time you need to do the tasks and remain as independent as you can. Also great having family access to my care notes so family can see how I’m doing and any concerns that might arise.”

“The Manager and her Team have been the model of courtesy, kindness, great advice and care. We needed immediate help for my Uncle and Alina Homecare stepped in without delay. The transformation has been immediate and really encouraging to witness.

I visited after only three care sessions and he was already brighter, happier and more able to cope by himself. The Carers are all very professional and have treated my Uncle with the utmost respect, friendliness and calm. The app. is easy to use and reassuring to read about the visits and his progress. Highly recommended.”

Guy, Relative, Bristol North

“One member of staff was my point of contact and she was really lovely – very helpful and went out of her way to ensure a Live-in Carer was available as soon as possible. She met Mum and the Carer on the day she went home to make sure all went smoothly. She continues to keep me…”

“Mum had been getting care once a week for three years from Alina Homecare. She had a stroke and was in hospital for several weeks. I live in Australia and came over to facilitate her discharge home. All she wanted was to get back home to her cats.

One member of staff was my point of contact and she was really lovely – very helpful and went out of her way to ensure a Live-in Carer was available as soon as possible. She met Mum and the Carer on the day she went home to make sure all went smoothly. She continues to keep me updated with any changes which I really appreciate.

Being so far away is very stressful when your loved one is sick. It is reassuring to trust the people looking after Mum are genuinely caring and have her best interests at heart. Mum is so happy to be home and the Carer is lovely too.”

Sarah, Relative, Poole

“I contacted Alina Homecare after being let down by another carer at the last minute when I was due to go away for a few days. I booked a consultation visit and had wonderful Carers visiting Mum daily in time for me to go away.

The Supervisor who visited us was so professional and caring, I felt so reassured that Mum would be well looked after. I need to say a huge ‘thank you’ to the Carers who visit Mum daily. They’re amazing, nothing is too much for them and they adapt so quickly and easily to any extra requests for assistance.

I thought Mum would find it difficult adapting to Carers coming in to help, I couldn’t have been more wrong. She actively looks forward to their daily visits. I can’t recommend Alina Homecare enough, reliable, trustworthy, kind, caring and so helpful.”

Carol, Relative, Leatherhead
