Cover when you need it
Short-notice visiting care
Prompt cover without cutting corners
A family carer falls ill. Discharge comes sooner than expected. A regular agency cancels. Urgent care is for those moments — we mobilise CQC-regulated carers for personal care, meals, medication prompts and reassurance as quickly as capacity allows.
Most packages begin within 24–48 hours after a rapid assessment. Same-day starts are possible when we have available carers and a clear picture of needs. Speed never means skipping safeguarding, documentation or dignity.
Call us early in the day if you can — the sooner we know, the sooner we can match cover across Nottingham.

Questions answered
Urgent care — frequently asked
How quickly can urgent care start?
We aim to arrange same-day or short-notice cover where capacity allows. Most urgent packages begin within 24–48 hours after we understand needs and complete a rapid assessment.
What situations is urgent care for?
Sudden carer illness, delayed hospital discharge support, a family emergency, or a gap while longer-term care is organised — any time someone needs safe help at home without waiting weeks.
Is urgent care still CQC-regulated?
Yes. Speed does not lower standards. Caretaz Healthcare is CQC-registered; urgent carers are recruited, trained and supervised like our planned visiting services.
Can urgent cover become ongoing care?
Often yes. Many families start urgently and then settle into a regular hourly, overnight or hospital-to-home plan under the same provider.
