Domiciliary Care simply means care that is provided to people who require extra support, in order to live independently in their own homes. This extra support might take the form of support with household tasks or personal care, or any other activity that the person would find difficult on their own. At Hft, this means supporting people to live the best lives possible.
We take the time to make sure that our staff are fully trained in person-centred active support so that they’re able to empower the people they support to enjoy higher levels of inclusion, independence and choice. It’s a model of support that we’ve seen lead to great outcomes for the people we support, time and time again
People choose Domiciliary Care for the independence that comes with it – living in your own home, and being in control of your own life. That’s why we work closely with the people we support to identify any additional opportunities that could help boost that independence, safely and easily. This might be a simple change such as installing a fingerprint lock to the front door, to eliminate the risk of someone forgetting to take their keys when they leave the house. But for someone who is unwilling to leave the house for fear of doing just that, a new lock might mean the difference between loneliness and isolation and getting out and about, allowing them to become an active member of the community.Get in touch to discuss how we can help.
