This is one of the most common misconceptions we hear — and it’s one that often stops people from seeking support when they really need it.
The reality?
Domiciliary care is for people of all ages who need support to live safely, comfortably, and independently in their own homes.
Care at home isn’t defined by age. It’s defined by need, choice, and circumstance.
Domiciliary care can support:
• Adults with physical, sensory, or learning disabilities
• People living with long-term health conditions
• Individuals recovering from surgery, injury, or illness
• People experiencing changes in mobility, confidence, or mental wellbeing
• Those who need short-term support — not lifelong care
For many people, domiciliary care is temporary. It might be a few weeks of help while they recover and rebuild confidence. For others, it’s ongoing support that adapts as life changes.
And care isn’t just about personal care.
It can include help with:
✔ Medication support
✔ Meal preparation and nutrition
✔ Daily routines and household tasks
✔ Emotional support and companionship
✔ Encouragement to stay active and connected
At its heart, domiciliary care is about enabling people to stay at home, surrounded by familiarity, comfort, and dignity — rather than being forced into a one-size-fits-all solution.
Importantly, needing care does not mean losing independence.
In fact, the right care can protect independence — giving people the confidence and stability they need to make their own choices, maintain routines, and live life in a way that feels meaningful to them.
Domiciliary care is:
✨ Personalised
✨ Flexible
✨ Built around the individual
✨ Designed to change as needs change
No assumptions.
No labels.
No age limits.
Care should meet people where they are, not where society assumes they should be.
💙 Because care isn’t about getting older.
It’s about getting the right support, at the right time, in the place people call home.
