Home care packages built around you support you to maintain your chosen lifestyle.
Home care packages built around you support you to maintain your chosen lifestyle, from a visit a day to 24 hour or live-in care. We believe that each customer is unique, with their own individual preferences and needs. So, we keep you in control and provide you with the domiciliary care and support you want, where and when you want it. It’s your life and your home care, so it must be your way.
Domiciliary care can be confused with Home Help, but it offers more vital support when it is needed and in a way that enables you to stay in control and maintain your dignity and independence. It really matters that you are shown respect, compassion and kindness by appropriately skilled and qualified staff. Policies and procedures are in place to ensure the safeguarding of vulnerable people. A domiciliary care provider must be registered with national regulators who check that they are working to set standards.
Domiciliary care is also known as in-home care with care provided in the comfort of your own home. Providers can specialise in dementia care, mental health conditions, personal care, physical disabilities, sensory impairments and caring for adults under or over 65 years.
For many people, it’s a much better alternative to the prospect of going into a care home or at least, it can delay a move into sheltered housing or a care home. If your home still meets your needs and is suitable and safe for you to live in, you can continue to focus on enjoying life. In-home care is an affordable alternative to the ever-increasing costs of residential care and your home remains your asset
