It is suitable for those who need help with daily tasks, personal care, medication, or other health issues, but do not want to move to a care home. Domiciliary care can be tailored to the individual’s needs and preferences, and can range from a few hours a week to 24-hour care. Here are some detailed information about domiciliary care:
- Benefits of domiciliary care. Domiciliary care can help people maintain their independence, comfort, and dignity in their familiar surroundings. It can also provide personalized support, emotional support, and social interaction. Domiciliary care can also support the person-centred care approach, which involves creating a care plan that reflects the client’s goals, aspirations, and preferences. Domiciliary care can also be more cost-effective than residential care, depending on the level and frequency of care needed.
- Types of domiciliary care. Domiciliary care can include various services, such as household tasks, personal care, medical support, therapy, or specialized care. Some examples of domiciliary care services are: home nursing, home health aides, personal assistants, companions, respite care, palliative care, dementia care, disability care, and more. Domiciliary care can also be offered to people of different ages and with different conditions, such as elderly people, children, young adults, or people with temporary or permanent care needs.
- How to access domiciliary care. Domiciliary care can be accessed through different ways, such as self-funding, government funding, insurance, or charity. Depending on the country and the region, there may be different eligibility criteria, assessment processes, and funding options for domiciliary care. Some common steps to access domiciliary care are: contacting the local authority or a care agency, arranging a care assessment, choosing a care provider, agreeing on a care plan, and reviewing the care quality and outcomes.
- How to choose a domiciliary care provider. Choosing a domiciliary care provider is an important decision that requires careful research and consideration. Some factors to consider when choosing a domiciliary care provider are: the quality and reputation of the provider, the range and flexibility of the services offered, the qualifications and experience of the staff, the compatibility and rapport between the client and the carer, the cost and payment methods, the feedback and reviews from other clients, and the accreditation and regulation of the provider.
