What is domiciliary care?

Domiciliary care is a range of services put in place to support someone in their own home.

Domiciliary carers, also known as home carers or private carers, are professionals who help people live independently in their own homes through daily visits or live in care. Their role is focused on assisting with household tasks, medication, and other activities that help to maintain quality of life. 

 

It is available to those who need another pair of hands to help with day to day household tasks, personal care or any other activity that allows them to maintain their quality of life and independent living.

Why opt for domiciliary care?

Many families are opting for domiciliary care – otherwise known as care at home – because it puts them back in control of the support they receive. Domiciliary care allows you to remain in the home that you love and continue living life on your own terms, safe in the knowledge that you’ve got private carers providing you with all the care and support that you require.

Who is domiciliary care for?

Domiciliary care is for anyone who wants to stay at home to receive the support they need.

Domiciliary care can be beneficial to people of all ages and with a wide range of circumstances and conditions. A “one-size-fits-all” approach doesn’t work for domiciliary care, because every individual person has their own unique set of support needs, so there really isn’t a particular type of person for whom it is or isn’t suitable.

 

At Gold Cross Care, our carers are expertly trained to provide a wide range of bespoke care services to people with varying levels of needs – no matter how straightforward or complex they may be.
