What is Domiciliary Care?
Domiciliary care, also known as home care or in-home care, is support provided to individuals who require assistance with daily activities while remaining in their own home. This type of care enables people to maintain their independence and continue living in a familiar environment, rather than moving into a residential or nursing home.
Services typically include personal care (such as assistance with washing and dressing), meal preparation, medication prompts, household tasks, and companionship. It is commonly used by elderly individuals, people with disabilities, or those recovering from illness or surgery.
What is Personal Care Service?
Personal care service refers to assistance provided to individuals with everyday tasks related to personal hygiene and well-being. This type of care is designed to help people who may struggle to perform these tasks on their own due to age, disability, illness, or recovery from surgery.
Personal care services typically include help with washing, dressing, grooming, using the toilet, and mobility support. These services are often tailored to the specific needs of the individual and can be provided in the comfort of their own home or in a care facility.

How can I organise domiciliary care for a family member?
To arrange domiciliary care, simply contact our team to discuss your loved one’s needs. We’ll conduct an initial assessment to understand their specific requirements and create a personalised care plan. You can arrange regular care visits or occasional support, depending on the level of assistance needed.
How do you ensure caregivers are qualified and trustworthy?
All our caregivers undergo rigorous background checks, including DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) screening. They receive extensive training in personal care, safeguarding, and health and safety standards to ensure they provide the highest quality of care. We also offer ongoing professional development to keep their skills up to date.
