What Is
What Exactly Is Domiciliary Care?
People who live in their own homes and require additional assistance with day-to-day activities are eligible to receive domiciliary care, often known as home care. A trained carer will come to your home to assist you with activities of daily living such as light housework, personal care, preparing and cooking meals, or any other duty that enables you to preserve your independence and quality of life. Additionally, domiciliary care gives the family carer who is looking after their loved one the option to take a much-needed vacation from their responsibilities.
Domiciliary care can also be referred to as hourly care, home care, or visiting care. However, these terms all relate to the same service, which is having a carer come to your home at various times during the day to offer care and support.
Depending on the level of care and assistance that you require, we are able to make arrangements for a carer to visit you anywhere from once to three times each day for periods ranging from fifteen minutes to sixty minutes at a time.
