Short Notice Placements
When living arrangements change suddenly, we move quickly
Emergency, short-term and medium-term accommodation with support, for times when home is no longer safe or available.
Overview
What is short notice placements?
Life can change overnight: a carer becomes unwell, a placement breaks down, or someone is ready to leave hospital with nowhere suitable to go. Short notice placements give people a safe, supported place to stay while longer-term plans are made.
Stays can be Short-Term Accommodation (respite), Medium Term Accommodation while waiting for a permanent home, or a vacancy in one of our SIL homes.
