Care at home
Page updated on: 12/10/2023
If you are struggling to look after your personal care at home and there is no one else who is willing and able to help you. Then you maybe able to get help from us. Our Domiciliary Service also known as home care, provides practical or personal care for someone in their own home. We may be able to help with some or all of the following:
- Washing and dressing
- Getting up in the morning and going to bed at night
- Meal preparation and help to eat
- Going to the toilet
- Household chores
If you feel you need care and support, the first step is to ask us to assess your needs. Everyone is entitled to have their needs assessed and a service can be provided if you meet the agreed criteria.
