We offer a variety of specialist care services across London from housekeeping and companionship to live-in care and night care.
If you or a loved one needs emergency home care with an immediate start, please get in touch. We understand that a sudden change in circumstances can feel overwhelming, especially during a family crisis or another emergency situation.
Emergency home care supports people who need immediate assistance in their own home following a sudden illness, serious injury, or an unexpected diagnosis. It can also provide additional support after a hospital discharge, allowing people to recuperate in familiar surroundings.
We provide emergency home care services for people living in London and the surrounding areas. This includes emergency visiting care, respite care, and live-in care, depending on your needs. Live-in care offers 24/7 support from a dedicated carer who lives with you in your home. Emergency respite care is valuable for those with complex conditions like dementia, where continuity of routine is vital.
Our dedicated team can help you arrange emergency home care quickly, often at very short notice. Emergency care at home is not intended for life-threatening situations such as a heart attack. In those cases, an ambulance should always be called. Instead, emergency care at home offers rapid response support when hospital care is no longer required or when urgent help is needed at home.
Contact us now to arrange person-centred care that can support you or your family during a difficult time.

Whatever your care needs and wherever your loved one is on their care journey, please contact us and let’s talk. We're here to help.
Our professional carer team is available to support you or your loved one at a moment's notice. We know emergencies rarely come with warning, and families often need urgent support without time to plan.
Following your initial contact, we aim to arrange emergency care within 24 hours. In many cases, emergency home care can begin the same day as your initial call, depending on location and availability.
Emergency care does not have to mean lower standards. All our care assistants are thoroughly vetted, with background checks completed and relevant qualifications verified before they join our care team. Our carers receive ongoing training to improve the care they provide and to ensure safe, reliable support for people with mobility issues or complex health conditions.
Where ongoing care is needed, we prioritise continuity. We aim to keep the same qualified carer in place so people feel comfortable and well supported. This consistency is especially important for elderly people, those living with dementia or anyone adjusting after a hospital stay.
Emergency home care can be arranged quickly and is delivered by experienced, trusted care professionals who can swiftly get to grips with the urgent needs of older adults. Emergency home care can include personal care, medication management, meal preparation, mobility assistance, and emotional support.
Emergency home care can also support families when a primary carer or current carer is suddenly unavailable or needs time away. In these situations, our care team steps in to provide necessary support through emergency respite care while longer-term arrangements are made.
Our emergency support line is available round the clock, so a trained professional is always on hand when an emergency situation arises. This service is designed for those with urgent needs that cannot wait, such as a sudden illness, an unexpected change following a hospital stay, or a family crisis where immediate help is required. While emergency home care is not suitable for life-threatening events that require an ambulance, it offers immediate support for daily life at home.
Every person’s situation is different, which is why our emergency home care services are never one-size-fits-all. We deliver personalised care that reflects your loved one’s care needs, while respecting the routines and lifestyle choices that matter to them. Urgent care at home can help people with a broad range of needs, including those living with complex care requirements or recovering following a hospital discharge.
Our emergency home care is flexible and shaped by what is needed most. This may include personal care, meal preparation, mobility support, help with daily tasks, or support with managing medication as prescribed. Emergency home care can also provide emotional support during stressful periods, helping people feel settled in familiar surroundings. Whether emergency support is needed for a day or while plans for ongoing care are made, our service adapts to changing circumstances and evolving needs.

"It is common for people to feel anxious when I arrive for emergency home care, especially during an unexpected change or family crisis. Many clients have just returned from the hospital or are adjusting to a sudden illness, so reassurance matters as much as practical support. I focus on helping people feel safe in their familiar surroundings, whether that means gentle conversation or quiet presence. My role is to provide immediate support while respecting their routines and preference."
Our emergency care service is based on personal experience.
We understand, first-hand how important it is to secure flexible and bespoke home care for your loved one.
“Tiggo Care is born out of my own personal experiences, following my struggle to find suitable care for my parents, both of whom lived with rare diseases..."

At Tiggo Care we understand how precious your loved one is to you and how unique they are. We also appreciate how overwhelming it can be to research and source the most suitable type of care.
We fundamentally believe that there is no ‘one size fits all’ care package and like to work with you and your loved one to understand your specific requirements. We’ll then create a tailored care package and match your relative with their ideal carer.
Unlike some other care providers, we are fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission. This means we are regularly inspected, rated and audited to ensure we are a safe, effective, caring, responsive and well led organisation, committed to delivering the best possible care.
We’re also proud members of the Homecare Association, the U.K’s membership body for home care providers, which holds organisations to a high set of standards and requests them to abide by a strict code of practice
At Tiggo Care, all of our carers undergo a rigorous recruitment and induction process. They are fully vetted and background checked, with all references followed up. Our carers undertake their training on the best eLearning system currently available within the UK care market, ensuring they are well placed to deliver the best possible service. Specialist training courses such as moving and handling, medications and basic life support are also completed by our carers face to face, as we feel these courses are more effective when delivered in person.

Emergency home care is short-term support in the home that is arranged quickly, sometimes in as little as 24 hours. It is often needed after a hospital discharge, during a health crisis, or when a regular caregiver becomes unavailable. Emergency home care can support people of all ages, including elderly people, those with disabilities, or people recovering from illness or injury. It provides a practical and reassuring alternative to a nursing home when staying at home is the preferred or only option.
In many cases, emergency home care can start within 24 hours of your initial call. Our rapid response approach means we focus on understanding your urgent needs as quickly as possible. Following your initial contact, we work efficiently to match you with a suitable qualified carer. You can rest easy knowing that immediate assistance is available during unexpected situations.
Yes, we can arrange care at short notice, including support from a live-in carer. Live-in care provides round-the-clock support and is often a good option for people with complex health conditions, mobility issues, or those requiring complex care. Live-in care offers continuity, reassurance, and the presence of a familiar face during a difficult period. It can also be a temporary solution until ongoing care plans are agreed.
Yes, we can arrange visiting care for people in some areas of London who need urgent support at home. Emergency visiting care can cover personal care, mobility support, meal preparation, and assistance with everyday tasks. This type of emergency care at home is flexible and tailored to what is most needed at the time. It provides the necessary support people need to live independently.
Emergency care may be needed after an unplanned hospital discharge, a fall, a serious injury, or a sudden illness. It can also help when a family member, social worker, or healthcare professional identifies an urgent gap in support. In some cases, emergency home care provides a vital bridge until longer-term arrangements, such as live-in care or palliative care, are put in place. Preparing an emergency care plan in advance can reduce stress and delay during future emergencies.
All our emergency home care services are delivered by trained carers who are thoroughly vetted and supported by a dedicated team. We’re regulated by the Care Quality Commission, which helps ensure safety, reliability, and high standards. Our carers are thoroughly vetted, wth including background checks and relevant qualifications for specific needs. They receive ongoing training and are selected based on their experience and compatibility with the person receiving support.
