Domiciliary care is care we provide in the person’s own home. Sometimes called “care at home” or “home care”, domiciliary care is when our carer either visits you or lives in your own home, in order to be close at hand to support you. Domiciliary care can be appropriate if you require help with practical tasks or personal care but don’t want to move to a care home.
We can help you with a range of daily tasks, including:
cooking
cleaning and laundry
bathing and personal care
dressing
helping with medication
Because many people prefer to stay in their own home if possible rather than living in a care home, domiciliary care is a popular care option in the UK.
Care can start as informally as someone popping in for a cup of tea and a chat – there is no task too small. This typically involves a social visit, help with shopping, and sometimes cooking and light cleaning.
For this type of care, our carer will visit a few times a week to help with opening mail, paying bills, and generally anything that helps you maintain your home. This is an especially useful care option for people with mental health conditions or learning disabilities.
If you need support getting in and out of bed or walking, we also offer domiciliary care with two carers.
We also offer care with multiple visits per day – for example, a visit to the home in the morning, midday, and before bed.
Live-in care is a type of domiciliary care where our trained carer moves into your home so that care is available when needed. This is a good solution if you typically sleep well through the night, as the carer will also be asleep.
If you wake up more than twice a night, our 24-hour care is a better option than live-in care. A live-in carer will sleep when you sleep, while 24-hour care involves a carer staying in your home, awake, while you sleep to assist you when you wake.
We offer free Assessments to all our new clients. Simply book a consultation with us and we'll come over.
A care plan is dratfed with the input of the service user with help from family members.
After everything has been completed we jump right in to give continuos care and support.
