Many people relish the chance to remain in the comfortable, secure surroundings of home whilst receiving the additional support they need. Domiciliary care allows you to enjoy a personalised care plan that ensures you are always getting the right support for your needs.
Care at home gives you the opportunity to receive personal one-to-one support from your own carer. Our person-centred care plan means you will get the emotional, practical and physical support you need. Domiciliary care allows you to continue living life on your own terms, which includes keeping up all your favourite hobbies, routines and activities.
Continuity is a priority for the people we care for and their relatives. We ensure that they have a key point of contact in the office and a carer they are happy with. Our colleagues are up to date with all mandatory training and compliance checks as well as having access to additional training where appropriate. We are fully regulated with Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW) and our team members offer free visits to discuss individual requirements and can advise on costs and any finding options available.
We believe there are very few instances where a person would be unable to remain in their own home. The below are just examples of the services we can offer, please contact us to discuss your specific requirements.
We are proud to be a preferred supplier for several local authorities in south Wales.
Companionship
Low confidence levels and feelings of loneliness or isolation are quite common following events such as illness or bereavement. The companionship of our care colleagues can help speed up recovery and help people to become re-established in their local community.

This is particularly useful to provide respite for carers or to allow people to be discharged from hospital at the right time. This can either be sleeping-in or waking nights where our colleagues are on hand throughout the small hours.
High dependency care
Where people may require two or three carers to meet the individuals needs and preferences.
Escort duties
Our qualified team members can escort and assist people in attending a range of activities including hospital appointments or on social trips.
Domestic support
