We can offer a 28-day unregulated placement for individuals requiring 24-hour care. Our service is designed to provide continuous, round-the-clock support in a safe and comfortable environment. Whether for respite or transitional care, we ensure a high standard of care tailored to individual needs, delivered by experienced caregivers.
This placement is ideal for breaks in foster care or when the primary carer of a service user requires respite. Our 24-hour care service allows carers to take time off, knowing that their loved ones are in a secure and supportive environment. It offers peace of mind during transitional periods or short-term absences, ensuring the individual continues to receive consistent and compassionate care while the main carer takes a much-needed break.
please note this service can only be accessed by a local authority, we offer no 28-day placement places for private paying users. If you require more than 28 days this should be accessed and approved by the local authority near the ending of the first 28 day placement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this be used as long term care?
No. 28 day placements are not to be used in replacement of perminant care. They can be extended from time to time for more than 28 days by a local authority but only by a local authority.
What is a 28 day placement?
The placement typically involves caregivers who manage day-to-day care, ensuring safety, wellbeing, and engagement with activities. This type of placement is often used in situations like foster care breaks, respite for primary carers, or during transitions between permanent care arrangements.
Why is the service unregulated?
A 28-day placement is classified as unregulated because it falls outside the scope of official oversight by governing bodies such as Ofsted or the Care Quality Commission (CQC). These bodies typically regulate longer-term care services or those specifically aimed at vulnerable groups like children or adults with certain disabilities. Unregulated placements are often short-term, temporary solutions, like respite care or transitional housing, where the need for immediate, flexible support can outweigh the formal regulatory requirements.
You are registered under CQC why is it still unregulated?
Even though we are CQC registered, a 28-day placement can still be considered unregulated if it doesn’t meet the specific criteria required for regulation under the current frameworks.
The unregulated classification applies to the type of service, not the overall quality of our regulatory status.
