What Is Domiciliary Care?
What is Domiciliary Care?
Domiciliary care simply refers to care provided in a person’s own home rather than in a hospital, care home, or assisted living facility. It’s designed to support individuals who may need help with daily tasks but wish to remain independent and stay in familiar surroundings.
This type of care is ideal for those who aren’t yet ready for residential care but still require regular support to manage day-to-day life. A trained Care Professional can visit at scheduled times to assist with personal hygiene, meal preparation, medication management, companionship, and more all delivered with dignity, compassion, and respect.
Domiciliary care offers a flexible and personalised alternative to care facilities, helping individuals maintain their routine, independence, and quality of life at home.
