The Benefits of Domiciliary Care
Understanding Domiciliary Care
You receive domiciliary care in your own home. It may be delivered by many different providers, such as the local authority, care agencies, or private home care companies such as Helping Hands.
Your carers will visit you on pre-arranged days or live in your home, supporting you to live as independently as possible.
They’ll help with daily tasks such as your medication, housekeeping, and personal care, ensuring you get to maintain your quality of life.
Domiciliary Care Benefits
There are many benefits of having domiciliary care delivered in your own home. Some of these include:
1. Promoting Independence
A personalised care plan will ensure you get the support you want that’s best suited to your needs
2. A Familiar Environment
Our customers enjoy being able to continue living at home while receiving the support they need
3. Daily Living Assistance
This includes personal care such as bathing and continence support, plus cleaning and tidying your home
4. Medication Support
Your medication will be expertly managed, meaning you get to live life on your own terms at home
5. Companionship Support
We don’t just give practical care, we support your emotional wellbeing through companionship support too
6. Tailored Care Plans
You’ll have a care plan tailored to the way you like to live, that focuses on one-to-one care and support
Reducing Pressure on Family Caregivers
Having family around is what gives many people the enthusiasm to continue living well but if you move into residential care you’ll be subject to their rules on when you can visit and how many can attend. You’ll also have to fit around their routine and get used to new surroundings and people.
By remaining at home and having care from Helping Hands, you get the best of both worlds. This is because you get one-to-one support from knowledgeable and compassionate carers who are dedicated to helping you live as well as possible.
You’ll dictate when you want your family and friends around and you’ll be able to focus on quality time spent together rather than them having to carry out care tasks for you.
