Common urgent care situations
The Doris Project understands these situations and works quickly to find suitable care.
Hospital discharge
When NHS hospitals need the bed and discharge is planned, but home isn't suitable. Time pressure is high — sometimes just days to find appropriate care.
Emergency respite
When the main carer becomes ill or needs urgent time off. Temporary care needed quickly to ensure everyone's safety and wellbeing.
End-of-life care
When palliative or hospice care is needed urgently. Specialised care homes with experience in compassionate end-of-life support.
Safeguarding situations
When staying at home becomes unsafe due to various circumstances. Immediate placement needed to ensure safety and proper care.
