Many families are opting for domiciliary care – otherwise known as care at home – because it puts them back in control of the support they receive. With one-to-one personal attention, from 30 minutes a week and up to several visits a day or overnight support, our care plans are completely built around you. 

​

Domiciliary care is provided to individuals who still live in their own homes but require additional support with activities such as personal care, household tasks and any other activity that allows them to maintain both their independence and quality of life.

Domiciliary care offers a valuable source of companionship. Seeing a familiar face day-to-day, or a couple of times a week, brings comfort and a sense of friendship and feeling safe. This form of social care also benefits mental health, as a care worker is able to provide much needed companionship to some. Home care assistants are not just trained in delivering the physical aspects of care, but also offer emotional support, encouragement and reassurance.
