Crisis response is well established in mental health services, aimed at supporting an individual during an exacerbation of his/her condition. These services are now being extended to older people experiencing a health or social care crisis, so as to avoid the negative impact of an unnecessary hospital admission. This guide is designed for service commissioners, managers, providers and others who are thinking of developing a new crisis response service or of improving their existing service. It includes: advice and guidance on the rationale for developing crisis response services; the main steps to follow and the challenges to overcome; examples of best practice. It sets out the key considerations, acknowledging that there are elements of crisis response services already in existence across health and social care, usually as part of intermediate care services. In many cases, the challenge facing commissioning teams is how to reconfigure existing services to introduce more efficient and effective working practices.
