For many people, staying at home is a priority, even when they need extra support with daily tasks. Domiciliary care—also known as home care—is a flexible solution that allows individuals to receive personalised care in the comfort of their own home, rather than moving into a residential facility.
At In Home Care, we understand how important it is for people to maintain their independence, dignity, and routines. That’s why we provide high-quality domiciliary care, helping individuals stay safe, comfortable, and well-supported at home while receiving the assistance they need.
What Does Domiciliary Care Include?
Domiciliary care is tailored to each individual, meaning the level of support can range from a few hours a week to full-time assistance. Some of the common services provided include:
- Personal Care – Help with bathing, dressing, grooming, and hygiene
- Meal Preparation – Cooking nutritious meals and assisting with eating if needed
- Medication Support – Ensuring medications are taken correctly and on time
- Companionship – Providing social interaction, emotional support, and friendly conversation
- Household Help – Light cleaning, laundry, shopping, and other everyday tasks
Every person’s needs are unique, which is why it is fully adaptable, ensuring the right level of support without disrupting independence.
Who Can Benefit from Domiciliary Care?
Domiciliary care is ideal for anyone who needs extra support but wants to stay at home. It’s particularly beneficial for:
- Older adults who need help with daily activities
- People with disabilities who require additional support
- Those recovering from illness or surgery who need temporary care
- Individuals with conditions like dementia or Parkinson’s, where familiar surroundings help reduce stress and confusion
For many families, it also provides peace of mind, knowing their loved ones are receiving the help they need without losing their independence.
Types of Domiciliary Care
Domiciliary care is highly flexible, allowing people to choose the level of support that best suits their needs. This can include:
- Hourly Care – Assistance for a few hours a day or week, depending on needs.
- Live-in Care – A dedicated carer lives in the home, providing round-the-clock support.
- Overnight Care – For those who need help during the night, ensuring safety and peace of mind.
This flexibility means that care can evolve over time, adapting to changing needs without requiring a move to a care home.
How Does Domiciliary Care Work?
Starting domiciliary care is a simple process that begins with a quick call, then an initial assessment. Here’s how it works:
- Understanding Your Needs – We discuss your routine, preferences, and specific care requirements.
- Creating a Care Plan – A personalised plan is developed to match your level of support.
- Matching You with the Right Team of Carers – We carefully select a team of trained, compassionate carers to suit your needs.
- Ongoing Support & Adjustments – Care plans can be adapted over time as needs change.
At In Home Care, we believe in providing care that works for you—not the other way around.
Why Choose Domiciliary Care Over a Care Home?
Many people assume that moving into a care home is the only option when additional help is needed. But it offers significant advantages, including:
- Staying in a familiar environment, surrounded by family, pets, and personal belongings.
- More independence and control over daily routines.
- One-to-one, personalised care rather than shared attention in a care home.
- Emotional and psychological benefits, particularly for those with dementia.
- Flexible, cost-effective care tailored to individual needs.
For those who value comfort, choice, and independence, it provides a practical and compassionate solution.
