Domiciliary care – sometimes called care at home – covers a variety of services designed to support someone to remain living independently at home while accessing the care they need. Carers will help with things such as personal care and medication but will also be on-hand to help with daily tasks and errands.
The Domiciliary care packages provided by 24/7 Passionate Care are tailored to the needs of each individual. The service is offered to help people continue to live independently in their own home and maintain their quality of life.
For many families, Domiciliary care is the solution they are looking for to help ensure their elderly relative retains control but receives the necessary care support.
With a nationwide network of branches and a reputation for caring and compassion, 24/7 Passionate Care is one of the UK’s leading names in Domiciliary care. We are fully licensed and regulated by the Care Quality Commission and all our centers are run by registered management staff who lead a team of committed and trained carers.
What is Domiciliary care?
Domiciliary care is the term used to describe a range of services that are put in place to support an individual who requires support but wishes to remain living in their own home. Domiciliary care is an alternative to live-in care or moving to a care home and is designed to allow you to continue living independently while offering assistance with tasks that have become challenging. Services can include routine household chores, personal care and other domestic services.
A Domiciliary care package will include regular home visits from a highly-trained carer who have demonstrated they can meet our strict standards of care and services. Visits can range from 30 minutes once a week to complete a few chores to several hours a day to help with personal care and maintaining a hygienic and healthy home.
Domiciliary care tasks include:
- Personal and continence care
- Helping to manage and administer medication
- Help with mobility around the home
- Household tasks and meal preparation
- Clinical care, including catheter and stoma management and PEG feeding
But Domiciliary care is also about providing companionship. Seeing the same familiar, friendly face on each visit helps to build up a rapport and gives your carer a chance to get to know you and offer emotional support too. In addition to helping with physical needs and cleanliness, Domiciliary care can be good for the mental wellbeing of elderly people who are unable to get out and socialize.
Who is Domiciliary care for?
Many families choose Domiciliary care when a loved one is beginning to find it difficult to clean their homes or themselves but is quite capable of continuing to live independently in comfortable and familiar surroundings with a little assistance on a regular basis.
But Domiciliary care is not just for the elderly. It is available people of all ages who want to continue to live on their own home while receiving treatment or rehabilitation.
Our nurse-led team offers medical support including:
- Catheterisation
- PEG feeding
- Suppositories
- Other medical tasks
Domiciliary care is designed to help you to stay at home while receiving support so each package is tailored to the individual concerned and can include a variety of tasks. The care packages available from 24/7 Passionate Care are bespoke designed and created in collaboration with any other agencies that might be supporting you such as district nurses, social services and occupational therapists. This approach ensures we have a consistent and holistic approach to your needs.
How 24/7 Passionate Care’s Domiciliary care works
When you get in touch with us, the first thing we do is talk through your current circumstances and what you want to get from your care package. This helps us determine whether Domiciliary care is right for you and give you some examples of the type of package that might be suitable. If we both agree that Domiciliary care is the best option for you, we will arrange a more thorough assessment of your needs.

Why choose Domiciliary care over a care home?
Often, additional needs can be met via regular home visits from a carer just as easily as they can be by living in a care home. Some people prefer the prospect of continuing to live in their family home for as long as possible, surrounded by memories of all the happy times they spent there.
Domiciliary care ensures that you or your loved one receives the care they need without having to give up independence.
