Adult Social Care: Domiciliary (Home) Care - WNC

Who is Domiciliary (Home) Care For?

Home care services are for adults aged 18+, who have eligible care and support needs as per the Care Act 2014 (Link). 

What is Domiciliary (Home) Care?

Domiciliary care is put in place to support someone in their own home. 

Domiciliary carers, also known as home carers, are professionals who help people live independently in their own homes through daily visits or multiple daily visits. They can assist with personal care, meal preparation, medication and other activities to help you to maintain a quality of life and independence. 

How to Get Domiciliary (Home) Care:

A social care professional must refer you to this service.
