    Emergency & Same-Day Elderly Care in Bristol

    An older person’s needs can change suddenly. They may have a fall, become unwell or be told they are ready to leave hospital before the family has had time to arrange post-hospital care at home.

    Emergency elderly care can provide practical help during this period. It may be needed when someone is returning home after treatment at Southmead Hospital, Cossham Hospital or another Bristol healthcare service and cannot safely manage their usual routine alone.

    Through Curam, families can search for available carers, read about their experience and contact them directly to discuss the situation. This gives you the opportunity to explain what support is required, whether that involves personal care, preparing food, medication reminders, mobility assistance or staying with the person while the family considers longer-term arrangements.

    Depending on availability, support may be arranged for a few hours, overnight or as a short-term live-in placement. Same-day elderly care in Bristol cannot always be guaranteed, as it will depend on the person’s location, the complexity of their needs and which carers are available.

    Beginning your search as soon as you know help is required will give you more time to find a suitable carer for your elderly relative.
