Crisis response

Definition

From:

NICE Guideline NG74 - Intermediate care including reablement

National Institute for Health and Care Excellence

Community-based services provided to people in their own home or a care home. These services aim to avoid hospital admissions. Crisis response usually involves an assessment, and may provide short-term interventions (usually up to 48 hours). Crisis response is delivered by a multidisciplinary team but most commonly by healthcare professionals.
