The Quick Guide to Domiciliary Care

What is Domiciliary Care?

Domiciliary care is a type of care that is provided at home by a professional caregiver. It may be provided on an intermittent, regular or live-in basis.

Domiciliary care providers help people with activities of daily living and other medical needs that they cannot do themselves.

There are many reasons why someone would need domiciliary care. For example, they may have a disability or illness that makes it difficult to do daily tasks, live alone, or have enough income to hire help.

It provides social support and companionship.
