What is Home Care?

Home care, also known as Domiciliary care, is a type of assistance provided by a care agency to anyone who may have difficulty performing daily activities independently at home. It involves a range of services designed to support with personal care, household tasks, medication management, and even companionship.

Domiciliary care enables individuals to maintain their independence while receiving the necessary help and support needed to live comfortably and safely in their familiar environment. Whether it’s for older adults, individuals with disabilities, or those recovering from illness or surgery, home care aims to enhance quality of life and promote overall well-being.
