Standard Domiciliary Care, also known as Home Care, refers to a range of services provided to individuals in their own homes to support their daily living activities and meet their personal care needs. We offer this form of care for people who require our assistance but prefer to remain in the familiar surroundings and comfort of their own home rather than move to a residential care facility. Here is a detailed description of Standard Domiciliary Care in our services:
Personal Care: Domiciliary Care services encompass personal care assistance, which involves supporting individuals with tasks they may find challenging due to physical limitations, illness, or disability. This would include assistance with bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, and mobility support.
Medication Management: Our staff would help individuals with their medication management. They also ensure that medications are taken as prescribed, assist with organising medication schedules, and may also help with administering medications if necessary.
Meal Preparation: We assist with meal preparation and ensure that individuals receive proper nutrition. Our staff would help plan meals according to dietary restrictions or preferences, shop for groceries, prepare meals, and assist with feeding if required.
Household Chores: Support with household chores is another aspect of domiciliary care. We would assist with light housekeeping tasks such as cleaning, laundry, and maintaining a safe and tidy living environment.
Companionship: Loneliness and social isolation would significantly impact a person's well-being. As such, our staff offer companionship by engaging in conversation, playing games, reading, or accompanying individuals on outings and appointments. This social interaction helps to combat feelings of loneliness and promotes mental well-being.
Transportation: We provide transportation assistance, ensuring that individuals attend medical appointments, and social events, or engage in activities outside the home. Our staff accompany individuals or arrange for transportation services as needed.
Respite Care: Our staff provide respite care to give family caregivers a break from their caregiving responsibilities. This temporary relief allows family members to rest, attend to personal matters, or simply take time off while knowing that their loved one is receiving appropriate care and support at home.
Care Coordination: Our services coordinate with other healthcare professionals, such as doctors, nurses, or therapists, to ensure an integrated approach to care. So, our care providers communicate with the individual's healthcare team, schedule appointments, and assist with medication updates or changes in treatment plans.
Monitoring and Reporting: Our care providers monitor individuals' health and well-being, observing any changes or signs of concern. They report any observations to family members or healthcare professionals, contributing to the early detection of health issues and ensuring timely interventions.
Emotional Support: We understand the importance of emotional well-being and offer emotional support to individuals under our care. Our staff listen, empathises, and provides a nurturing environment, helping individuals cope with emotional challenges and maintain a positive outlook.
The goal of our Domiciliary Care is to promote independence, enhance quality of life, and enable individuals to live comfortably and safely in their own homes.
