Domiciliary care (also known as home care) is professional care and support delivered in an individual’s own home. It is designed to help people manage daily living activities while maintaining independence, privacy, and control over their lives.
Domiciliary care can support:
Support ranges from practical assistance and personal care to complex and specialist care, depending on assessed needs.
Remaining at home often reduces distress, preserves routines, and supports emotional well-being, while avoiding or delaying admission to residential care.
Our domiciliary care services are delivered by trained and supervised care workers and may include:
All care is delivered in line with person-centred care plans, risk assessments, and regulatory standards.
We offer flexible domiciliary care packages that can be adapted as needs change.
Scheduled visits during the day or evening to support with personal care, meals, medication, domestic tasks, mobility, and social interaction. Visits may range from short daily calls to multiple visits per day.
Planned night-time support for individuals who require assistance with toileting, repositioning, reassurance, or monitoring during the night, providing reassurance to both service users and families.
For individuals with higher or continuous needs, a professional live-in carer provides round-the-clock support, enabling people to remain at home rather than move into residential care
Note: Short-term respite domiciliary care is also available to support family carers or following hospital discharge.
Many difficulties associated with dementia – such as confusion, memory loss, aggression and incontinence – can make it harder to feel independent and in control. Home‑based dementia care can ease this for both the person and their family.
Individuals stay in familiar surroundings, maintaining community connections, routines, and a sense of identity.
Care is tailored to individual needs, preferences, and cultural requirements rather than a fixed institutional schedule.
We aim to provide a consistent care team to build trust, familiarity, and effective communication.
Families gain reassurance that professional care is in place, while remaining actively involved in care decisions.
Domiciliary care is a safe, flexible, and cost-effective alternative to residential care for many individuals.

Yes. Many people begin with a small package, such as one short visit a day for personal care or medication, and then increase to more frequent or longer visits, overnight care, or live‑in support as needs change. Care plans are reviewed regularly so support can be increased, reduced, or reshaped to remain safe and appropriate.
Yes. We can often provide domiciliary care for couples who live together, supporting one or both partners depending on their individual needs. During the assessment we look at how you live day‑to‑day and design a care plan that keeps routines as normal as possible while keeping everyone safe.
Yes. Domiciliary care can cover both personal care and practical help around the home. This can include cleaning, laundry, shopping, meal preparation, and other light household tasks, alongside support with washing, dressing, continence, medication, and mobility, according to the agreed care plan.
Yes. We support adults of all ages, including people with dementia, learning disabilities, physical disabilities, long‑term health conditions, and more complex needs. Where required, we work closely with community nurses, GPs, and specialist teams so that domiciliary care is coordinated with other clinical input.
We look at the whole picture: current needs, risks, how much support family can realistically provide, and what outcomes you want to achieve. After an assessment we’ll explain the pros and cons of visiting, overnight, and live‑in care for your situation and recommend a level of support that is safe, proportionate, and can be adjusted over time.
