Domiciliary care is a range of care services you can receive in your own home, to help you cope with disability or illness.
Domiciliary care can
- help you maintain your independence and remain living at home longer
- prevent or delay the need to move to a care home
- help you achieve daily tasks such as
- getting out of bed
- washing and dressing
- preparing or accessing meals
- using the toilet
- improve your physical and emotional well-being
- improve the physical and emotional well-being of your carer[s]
Together, we will talk about what you want to achieve and how you could achieve this yourself. This may be with the current support you have or through a care provider, direct payment or residential placement.
You could consider taking a direct payment which may offer choice, flexibility and control over the care you wish to receive.
