Domiciliary Care Services
Different industries often have their own set of terminologies. In health and social care, the term “domiciliary care” is one of these terminologies. What then does domiciliary care stands for? Basically the word domiciliary is derived from the Latin word, “Domus,” meaning “Home.” And so, “Domiciliary Care” simply is “home care.”
Domiciliary care is an option that would best suit individuals who due to health challenges may need help and support to manage day to day tasks, but who would also like to remain in their own home. The elderly, generally find this an attractive option, and the support available includes:
- Help with household cleaning
- Preparing meals
- Laundry
- Personal care
- Taking medication
Carers are able to help clients with mobility around the home, as well as when out in the community. Carers can also provide companionship to clients, encouraging social interaction.
