After the Crisis

We Do Not Just Respond.
We Plan Ahead.

Our crisis care covers the immediate emergency for up to 72 hours. During that time, our team works with you and your family to assess the longer-term situation and recommend the most appropriate ongoing care.

If your loved one needs continued support, we can transition them seamlessly into one of our scheduled, flexi, or live-in care packages. If they need hospital liaison, equipment, or family communication across borders, we handle all of that too.

Many of our crisis care clients become long-term families. They come to us in a moment of panic, and we help them find a path to stability and peace of mind.

What Families Say

Crisis Care Feedback

I am forever grateful to Kelly and her team. The flexibility of the care package towards the end was invaluable. Algarve Care were able to put an emergency plan in place to enable our Mother to die with dignity at home. Even now, 2 months on, Kelly is still supporting us.

When circumstances had spiralled badly and we needed urgent help that did not appear to exist from any other quarter, we were so glad that we had Algarve Care Services available at the end of the phone. Their practical support and ability to create timely solutions was just superb. They are truly lifesavers.

I needed to use the support services of Algarve Care Services for my husband who has Parkinson’s. From the first contacts with Kelly, I felt very comfortable and supported. The carer allocated was very responsible, careful, attentive, and patient. I feel safe to recommend this care to anyone who needs it.
