Everything You Need to Know About Home Care

Common Questions

Your questions, answered with care.

Your home is more than just a building – it’s your sanctuary, filled with memories, comfort, and the people and things you love.

Domiciliary care (also known as home care) is designed to help individuals remain in that special place while receiving the support they need to live safely and independently. Whether it’s personal care, help with daily tasks, or simply companionship, domiciliary care brings expert support right to your doorstep – with warmth, dignity, and respect.

Domiciliary care is ideal for anyone who wants to stay at home but needs a little extra help to do so comfortably.

This might include:

  • An older relative who needs assistance with mobility
  • Someone living with a long-term condition
  • A person recovering after surgery or illness

Everyone deserves to feel secure, supported, and valued in their own home – and that’s exactly what we provide.

A care home offers full-time support in a shared residential setting.

Domiciliary care, on the other hand, allows individuals to stay in their own home while receiving tailored support from a professional carer.

It’s a great choice for those who value their independence, routines, and familiar surroundings – but still want high-quality, dependable care.

Domiciliary care is flexible and fully personalised. It can include:

  • Short, scheduled visits throughout the week
  • Daily assistance with personal care or household tasks
  • Live-in care for round-the-clock support

Whether it’s light-touch help or more involved care, we tailor every plan around what the individual needs most – and adapt as those needs change.

The cost of home care varies based on personal circumstances.

Options include:

  • Private funding (self-funded care)
  • Local council support, based on a care needs and financial assessment
  • Government schemes that may help cover care costs

We’re happy to guide you through what financial support might be available and help you explore all options.

Domiciliary care covers a wide range of day-to-day support, such as:

  • Washing, dressing and personal hygiene
  • Meal planning and preparation
  • Medication reminders or collection
  • Light cleaning and housekeeping
  • Friendly conversation and companionship
  • Accompaniment to appointments, hobbies, or social visits

The goal is always the same: to help make each day easier, safer, and more enjoyable.

There’s no substitute for home.

Benefits of domiciliary care include:

  • Staying in familiar, comforting surroundings
  • One-to-one, personalised care
  • Continued independence and freedom
  • Emotional wellbeing and reduced loneliness
  • A consistent care relationship with someone you trust

It’s care that supports not just the body – but the heart and mind too.

Care costs depend on the level of support required and how often it’s delivered.

Some clients may only need a few short visits per week, while others might need daily or live-in care. We’re happy to provide clear, transparent pricing – and support you in exploring local authority funding if applicable.
