A Guide to Domiciliary Care

Whether you have a long-term disability or short-term illness, looking after yourself and doing everyday tasks can be challenging. You may need help having someone assist with completing activities, such as preparing meals or driving to doctor appointments.

Sova Healthcare offers a daily or ad-hoc domiciliary care service for children and adults designed around your requirements and needs.

Discover what domiciliary care is, how it works and its benefits with our helpful guide.

What is Domiciliary Care?

Domiciliary care is a home care service where a healthcare professional provides care from your home. This type of care can be individually tailored to each person, whether it’s an elderly family member or a child living with a chronic health condition. Depending on your circumstances, the form of domiciliary care you require could be daily or weekly.

Who Would Require Domiciliary Care?

Compared to other home care services, domiciliary care can be used by any age group that requires it. This includes:

  • Older people who want to live in their own home
  • Children or adults with disabilities who find it difficult to complete daily tasks
  • People with long-term conditions or illnesses that require additional support

The Benefits of Domiciliary Care

Domiciliary care has many benefits for individuals and families who require care and support from their own home, including:

  • Maintain your independence, lifestyle and daily routine
  • Reduce loneliness and allows you to stay in touch with family members
  • Cost-effective alternative to a care home
  • Domiciliary care can be tailored to your needs and preferences
  • Ensure you have nutritious meals to eat daily

How Often is Domiciliary Care Provided to Clients?

It depends on the client’s needs and requirements. Some domiciliary care clients may require a few days a week with a domiciliary carer. At the same time, others may require live-in care. Depending on your requirements, we can tailor our domiciliary care service around your needs.
