Domiciliary care

Domiciliary care refers to the provision of care and support services for individuals in their own homes. It is also known as home care or home support.

Domiciliary care can be provided to individuals of all ages who require assistance with daily living activities due to illness, disability, or age-related issues. The services provided can include assistance with personal hygiene, dressing, meal preparation, medication management, and other

household tasks.

Domiciliary care can be provided by professional caregivers, family members, or friends. It can be arranged through a local authority or a private care provider. The type and level of support provided will depend on the individual’s specific needs and can be adjusted over time as their needs change.

Domiciliary care is often preferred by individuals who want to remain in their own homes as they age or recover from an illness or injury, rather than moving to a residential care facility. It can help individuals maintain their independence and quality of life, while also providing them with the care and support they need to live safely and comfortably at home.
