Immediate Private Care Before Local Authority Funding in Lewisham
When someone needs urgent care, waiting for financial assessments can cause unnecessary delays. At Caremark Lewisham, we know that care should never have to wait. That’s why we provide immediate private care until local authority funding is approved. This offering of immediate private care means individuals can receive the help they need straight away, and once funding is awarded, the transition is seamless—no need to change providers or create a new care plan.
How We Helped Daphne With Immediate Care
When Daphne returned to the UK after living in Jamaica, she faced many challenges. Unfortunately, she hadn’t been receiving the right level of support abroad and needed urgent help when she arrived back in Lewisham. Instead of waiting weeks for a financial assessment to be completed, we arranged temporary private care straight away, ensuring immediate private care access.
This gave her immediate access to personal care and day-to-day support, ensuring she was safe, comfortable, and supported during a crucial time. Once local authority funding was awarded, she was able to continue with the same care team without disruption.
Continuity Without Complications
Because the funding transition was managed smoothly, Daphne did not need to change providers or redo her care plan. The same friendly and familiar care assistants remained in place, giving her stability and peace of mind. This continuity is particularly important for individuals who may already be feeling unsettled after a big life change, such as moving back to the UK with immediate private care ensuring stability.

It also reduces stress for family members who may otherwise have to step in without professional support.
