24 hour Emergency Service
-
Crossroads Care Reading offers an Emergency Response Service, available to carers anytime of the day or night, 7 days a week, 365 days per year - free of charge
It is there for you to call on if you find yourself in a position where you are unable to look after your dependant/s due to illness, hospitalisation of yourself, or a close member of the family.
You may wake up with flu, develop a migraine, hurt
your back, have any number of ailments, or just feel
so tired and low that you cannot struggle to carry
on. You may be out shopping and become delayed due
to an accident, or some unforeseen emergency. |

Now there is no
need to worry. Once you have registered with
Crossroads Care Reading, a trained Carer Support Worker will be
with you as soon as possible. The Emergency Response
Service was requested by Carers for Carers, and we
urge you to use the service when you have the need.
Do not struggle alone through a setback, when a
simple telephone call can bring you immediate
practical help. |

As long as you
are registered with Crossroads Care Reading, i.e. when
our Manager has visited you to carry out an initial
assessment and set up a contingency plan (what you
would like to happen to the person you care for if
you are unable to do so), then the service is immediately
available to you. (As social services funds the
hours we spend with you, we have to release your
names and addresses to social services in the event
of a call out) If you are a carer, or know a carer
who is not registered with us then please ring
Reading 0118 945 4209 and we will arrange to visit
you within a couple of days. |
