Case Study
Background
Good Oaks was called late on Christmas Eve by a gentleman who was struggling to cope with caring for his elderly father, Mr J.
Mr J was very unwell and needed help day and night. Although the NHS team were visiting four times daily, the son was feeling the strain of having to provide 24 hour support on his own. He requested urgent support at night from Good Oaks so he could sleep, and care for his father during the day.
Delivery
Good Oaks undertook an emergency assessment the same day, and provided a waking night carer that night, and every night for two weeks.
Results
The son was able to care for his father during the day with the help of an NHS team. Mr J was able to spend his last days at home, as he had desired.
Good Oaks prides itself on being able to support people in urgent need of help by rapidly devising an effective care package and implementing it as soon as possible. This is something that really makes us stand out from other agencies.
