What is domiciliary care?

Domiciliary care, also known as home care, is professional support provided in the comfort of your own home. It allows individuals to receive the help they need while remaining independent in familiar surroundings.

Care can range from short visits to help with meal preparation and medication, through to more regular support with personal care, mobility, companionship, or trips out and about.

At Assured Home Care Stockport, our domiciliary care services are built around the individual. We take the time to understand personal preferences, routines and needs, creating a care plan that promotes dignity, safety and wellbeing.

Whether support is needed for a few hours a week or more comprehensive daily care, domiciliary care offers a flexible, compassionate solution that evolves as needs change.

What are the benefits of domiciliary care?

Domiciliary care allows individuals to remain in the comfort and familiarity of their own home while receiving the support they need. Staying at home often promotes greater emotional wellbeing, independence and confidence, as daily routines and surroundings remain unchanged. Care is tailored to the individual, meaning support is flexible and can adapt as needs evolve — whether that involves occasional visits or more regular assistance.

For families, domiciliary care provides peace of mind. Knowing a trained, compassionate carer is providing safe and reliable support can reduce stress and offer reassurance. It also enables loved ones to stay closely involved in care decisions, while receiving additional help when needed.



Most importantly, domiciliary care is centred around dignity and personal choice — supporting individuals to live life on their own terms, with the right level of care in place.
