About 28 residents and five staff are being rescued from a care home in Herefordshire that has flooded.
The daughter of one resident said water had breached the flood barriers this morning.
"They've had to get social care managers and transport and everything sorted out for them to go," she said.
"There's quite a few people using wheelchairs so they will obviously need a lot of assistance to get out, and then there are quite a lot of people who are more mobile, but with dementia, so they're going to be very confused by what's going on."
She said her 88-year-old mum was expected to be brought out by fire rescue crews.
"She might either quite enjoy being brought out by the fire crew or perhaps be a bit scared, I don't know which really.
"She'll perhaps think back to the days of the war and being in the Land Army and might find it quite exciting, who knows.
"They're in good hands, there's lots of emergency services here waiting to get people evacuated so I feel confident that they're going to keep [her] safe and look after her needs."
The chief executive of Shropshire Council called the flooding in the county an "unprecedented situation" which came "with no warning".
And Clive Wright added: "All of the modelling didn't predict the amount of water that would fall and particularly in certain locations."

People in Ironbridge are used to seeing flooding during the winter, but they're also used to the temporary flood barriers containing it.
The Wharfage is being closed this morning because the Environment Agency believes there is a good chance they won't hold back the River Severn, external.
The water level at the Buildwas river gauge expected to reach 6.7m by this afternoon and although the river isn't coming over the top of the barriers, it's been able to find away around them.
Telford and Wrekin Council says pressure on the flood barriers is so great that the road is beginning to crack.
And with further rain forecast, the Environment Agency is asking people living near the river to make sure their valuables are in a safe place and have vital items like medicines and insurance documents ready in a bag, in case they need to join the evacuation.
Five people were rescued from a car driven into flood water at Leintwardine, in Herefordshire, the fire service said.

About 30 properties are being evacuated in Ironbridge after pressure from the river is causing the road surface to crack, said the council.
Councillor Carolyn Healy said workers from the council and Environment Agency were "knocking on doors" and asking people to evacuate to a rest centre in nearby restaurant Cleo's.
A rescue is under way of people trapped on the top floor of a nearby house, "on the opposite side of the river", Ms Healy added.
"If necessary, the Shropshire Fire and Rescue service have got boats, but the fire engine is there and hopefully because we've got to them quite quickly they will be able to evacuate them from the back of the property."
