Question 14 of 30
What is domiciliary care?
Domiciliary care involves carers visiting someone at home to provide support with daily tasks such as personal care, meals and medication. Visits can range from 30 minutes once a day to several visits throughout the day. It is available through the council if someone meets the financial threshold, or privately.
