Emergency Crisis Placements

Emergency Crisis Placements

We provide emergency placements when immediate support is required. Referrals are considered carefully to ensure suitability, with safeguarding and risk reduction as our first priority.

Children are welcomed calmly and respectfully during high-stress moments. Initial risk assessments guide early support, and clear communication is maintained with professionals. The placement creates space for reflection and planning while avoiding unnecessary escalation. A child’s safety and dignity are protected at all times.

Frequently Asked Questions

The different types of care homes are residential homes, nursing homes, and specialist care homes, such as dementia care homes. Other types of residential care include assisted living and retirement villages. 

The main difference between a residential home and a nursing home is that a nursing home has a qualified nurse on-site 24-hours a day to provide necessary medical care. This means nursing homes can provide a higher level of care. 

If you or a loved one have moved into a care home but feel that you struggle to settle in, it is not the right fit or the location stops family from visiting regularly, you can change care homes. Make sure that you have read the terms of your contract to avoid any issues.

Depending on your financial circumstances and your care needs, you may be able to receive help with paying your care costs. If you have capital below a certain amount, which varies between countries in the UK, your local authority will contribute towards your fees. The NHS may cover your nursing care fees in some circumstances and there are a few benefits you can claim while living in a care home.
