When you call, we act.

How Does Emergency On-Call Care Work?
When you contact JR Care with an urgent care need, our team responds immediately. We carry out a rapid needs assessment — either by phone or in person — to understand exactly what support is required. We then identify and brief an appropriately trained carer, coordinate any necessary equipment or information, and ensure care begins as quickly as possible. Family members and, where relevant, discharge teams or social workers are kept fully informed throughout. Our emergency care service is not a lesser version of our standard service — every emergency placement uses fully vetted, trained, and Care Inspectorate-compliant carers.
