Tips on Choosing the Right Domiciliary Care Provider for You or a relative requiring care

Get in Touch

Looking for a trusted and compassionate domiciliary care provider for your parent, spouse, elderly relative, ailing loved one?

Or for yourself perhaps? There are several important points to keep in mind as you evaluate prospective professionals and the services they offer. We have provided some guidelines to help ensure you or your loved one has quality domiciliary care provider.

Make a list of the services you require or your relative require

Determine the type of care that is required before you contact a provider

Does he/she have specific health care requirements?

Will he/she require assistance with personal care?

Are you looking for rehabilitation care such as after surgery or serious illness?

Does your relative live alone and require live-in care?

Domiciliary and community care providers offer a variety of services. It is important to find one that will meet any requirements

Examine the range of services that community care agencies provide

Don’t assume that all domiciliary care agencies work the same way. Some may not be equipped to provide for complex care needs like Tracheostomy care for instance. Others may only offer specialised services which are geared towards a specific group of people. Also, individual needs change; especially if the person is elderly or has a debilitating illness. In such situations, it makes more sense to work with a community care agency that provides a broad range of services and will be able to meet changing requirements such as hospital discharge and post-operative or live-in care.

Meet with a few domiciliary care agencies

We recommend meeting with more than one domiciliary care agency to compare the services offered and ensure the best fit for individual care needs.

Having a professional home care service for your relative allows them to remain in familiar surroundings while providing them with the support they require

Many people choose this as an alternative to moving into a care home. With the right kind of assistance, they can continue to remain in the comfort of their homes and lead as independent a life as they choose to.
