Domiciliary care means that you or your loved one will receive specialist support and assistance within the comfort of your own home. Many people can find that at a certain age, they begin to struggle with day-to-day tasks like washing up, doing the laundry, hoovering or taking medication. In this case, a domiciliary care service will ensure that you have a fully-trained carer to help out with these activities.

Just like live in care, domiciliary care provides a valuable source of support and companionship, with a friendly face going a long way to offer comfort and a feeling of safety. Some people will receive support every day, while others will require it less frequently, perhaps once or twice a week.

This type of care benefits physical and mental health alike, with care workers providing companionship care and emotional support, along with also helping out with the more physical aspects of everyday care. There are also specific care homes for mental health.

This type of care is a popular option amongst people who’d rather not permanently move out of their homes.

 

Who It’s Suitable For

Domiciliary care can be beneficial to people of all ages and can include care services like recuperation, convalescence and rehabilitation. This type of support is best suited to people who wish to stay in their own homes but also like the idea of receiving regular visits from a qualified carer.
