Short Term Care by Acs Carer

Flexible Support When You Need It Most

Services Include

At Acs Carer, we understand that not all care needs are long-term. Whether you’re recovering from illness, need temporary support after surgery, or your usual carer is taking a well-earned break, our short term care services are designed to provide reassurance, stability, and expert assistance exactly when you need it.

We also offer short term care for younger adults and teens living with physical disabilities—ensuring continuity of routine and personal independence during transitional or challenging periods.

What Is Short Term Care?

Short term care is a flexible care arrangement that provides temporary support for a set period. It’s ideal when you or a loved one requires extra help following a life event or during a time of change, such as:

  • Hospital discharge and post-operative recovery

  • A flare-up of a medical condition

  • Illness or injury affecting mobility or function

  • A break for a regular family carer

  • Emergency situations

  • Trial periods before committing to long term care

Short term care ensures you don’t have to face these challenges alone. Whether for a few days, weeks, or months, our experienced carers are ready to step in and offer practical support and peace of mind.
