Domiciliary Care
What is Domiciliary Care?
Domiciliary care, also known as home-based care, involves a professional caregiver visiting clients in their homes to assist with daily living tasks, personal care, companionship, or more specialised support. It is a flexible care solution tailored to meet the specific needs and preferences of each individual, whether they require short-term help or long-term support.
Who Can Benefit from Domiciliary Care?
Domiciliary care is ideal for a wide range of individuals, including:
- Older adults who need assistance with daily tasks but wish to stay in their own homes.
- Individuals recovering from surgery, illness, or injury.
- People with disabilities or mobility challenges.
