What is an Emergency Placement?

Emergency placements are short-notice residential admissions for individuals who require urgent housing and support. These are designed to be temporary, though in many cases they may transition into longer-term placements depending on the individual’s needs and the outcome of care planning.

We provide fully supported accommodation with 24/7 staff presence, ensuring immediate safety and stability while allowing time for a thorough needs assessment and planning for the next steps.

Who We Support

Our emergency placements are available for adults aged 18 and over with a wide range of support needs. This includes individuals with learning disabilities, mental health conditions, autism or neurodiverse profiles, complex epilepsy, and physical health needs.

We also support those living with acquired brain injuries, multiple diagnoses, or complex behaviours. Additionally, our service is equipped to assist individuals facing vulnerable circumstances such as placement breakdowns, domestic risk, or homelessness, ensuring they have immediate access to safe and stabilising care.
