Urgent live-in care can be called upon when individuals require immediate care due to a change in circumstances. This can be due to an unexpected situation, such as a change in health status, injury or issues with current care arrangements.

- A trip or fall impacting mobility
- The primary carer needs to take a break or has fallen ill
- A faster-than-expected discharge from hospital
- A family crisis
- Your current care provider has let you down
- Palliative care for a terminally ill individual who wishes to return home
- A sudden illness requiring extra care
- Unexpected worsening of an existing health condition, such as dementia or Parkinson’s
- Postoperative care to aid recovery and rehabilitation
How does urgent live-in care work?
Should you or a loved one need urgent live-in care, here’s how urgent live-in care with Trinity Homecare works:
Assessment
Our experienced team conducts a rapid response care needs assessment to determine the individual’s specific needs, preferences and the level of care required. We arrange a prompt care assessment that is carried out quickly, either at your loved one’s home or in hospital, depending on the circumstances.
24-hour Turnaround
A suitable carer will be found within 24 hours of your request for urgent live-in care. This live-in carer will live in your loved one’s home, providing care and support for as long as is needed.
Ongoing Monitoring
Our care team will monitor the urgent live-in care to ensure that your loved one’s needs are regularly reviewed and that care is adjusted as necessary. Regardless of the type of care you choose, your loved one will receive the appropriate level of care at all times.
The benefits of urgent live-in care
Urgent live-in care is a timely solution should an unexpected situation pop up concerning the care of a loved one. The benefits of urgent live-in care include:
Urgent live-in care provides immediate support to individuals who need help with their daily activities due to a sudden change in their health or medical condition. The elderly individual will feel fully supported during this transition period.
Tailored to the individual’s specific needs, preferences and schedule, urgent live-in care is flexible and can be adapted. This ensures that your loved one will receive the level of care that is right for them should their needs change due to unexpected circumstances.
Carers are available round-the-clock, providing assistance and support whenever needed. If the current primary carer is unwell, unavailable, or understandably in need of a break, an urgent live-in carer will step in to support your loved one fully.
Urgent live-in care allows individuals to remain in their own homes and maintain their independence, rather than having to endure the disruption of moving to a care facility in an emergency situation.
Even in times of emergency, family members can have peace of mind knowing that their loved one is receiving the care and support they need in a familiar and comfortable environment.
