The Crisis Service can help with problems such as finding yourself suddenly ill in bed, if you are undergoing a bereavement, or home from hospital after being discharged.

Crisis can be there if you have an accident or are finding it impossible to cope in a domestic emergency.

Requests for the service will be assessed by the Crisis Co-ordinator. A decision will then be made as to the type of service you need and whether other support agencies should be contacted.

Where necessary the situation will be reviewed after the first visit. If appropriate, a client may be referred on to Social Services for an assessment.

Through short visits and telephone calls we can provide practical help with regards to: shopping, medication prompts, preparation of a light meal, light households tasks and low level personal care. The service is normally available for a maximum of 7 days only.
