Interim trial care
Because important decisions about your care shouldn’t be taken in a rush
- Carers available now
Giving you what you need to make an informed decision
The choice of care will often affect the rest of a person’s life so it’s only right you take sufficient time to think and evaluate, rather than making hurried decisions.
However, not many of us plan for future care services, either for ourselves or our loved ones, so people often find they have to make a quick decision under pressure on something that is so important to the quality of someone’s life.
Perhaps your loved one is ill in hospital, has had a fall or something else suddenly goes wrong, causing them to need care. Where possible, family usually step in to help but there often comes a time when this becomes unsustainable, due to work or other family commitments coming into play. This is when people are under most pressure to find an urgent solution and may be forced to take a decision simply because there is no time to consider the alternatives.

How it works
Call our friendly Care Team who will talk to you about what you need and want.
Once we’ve got an understanding of your situation we’ll arrange for one of our local area care consultants to visit you for an assessment. This doesn’t mean you’re obligated to continue with anything, it just gives us the information we need to give you an accurate idea of what we can provide and the cost.
We then prepare a suggested care package which takes into account not only the individual’s needs and wishes, but those of the family. It includes all the health professionals and those in your community who are part of your life.
Between the client, the family, the community and Christies, a full support package is developed, unique to each individual. We call this a ‘Partnership of Care’.
You can decide what to do next.
If you choose our trial package, a live-in carer will move in to look after your loved one, causing the least amount of disruption and taking pressure off the family. This gives you the precious time you need to make a fully considered decision with all the facts at hand. It allows you to weigh up all your options and decide on the best interests of the person who needs the care.
If, once the trial package has begun, for whatever reason you decide that this is not the right option, you can cancel the care by giving us one week’s notice at any time.
