How to find emergency carer for adult?

Hope someone might be able to help. A close relative of mine suffers with crippling anxiety attacks that last for several days. She can’t be left alone day or night during this. I am trying to find a paid carer/mental health practitioner that could help us during this time (we work and obviously this is causing difficulties).

I am really struggling as agencies don’t seem to be able to provide unplanned emergency care at short notice (I completely understand as they need to plan their work), but I never know when it will be needed, and then we need help for around 3 days and nights.

She is going back into therapy so that area is covered.

South East area. Any ideas of how I go about this search and does this type of service exist. We are fortunate enough that funds can be sorted to pay for it.
