Elderly Care
Norfok Swift Response Team
Norfolk Swift Response is a free 24-hour service you can call if you have an urgent, unplanned need at home but don’t need the emergency services. If, for example, your partner or carer is suddenly admitted to hospital, the Swift Response team can assist you with getting up, washing and dressing.
They can also help if you have a fall but are not seriously injured and can bring special lifting equipment to help make moving as safe as possible for you.
