Domiciliary Care
Domiciliary Care in the UK
Domiciliary care, also known as home care, is a support service that assists individuals who require help with their daily activities but prefer to remain in the comfort of their homes rather than move into a care home. In the UK, domiciliary care is regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), which sets standards for the quality and safety of care provided by domiciliary care providers.
Domiciliary care services can range from essential assistance with personal care and household tasks to more complex medical care and support for individuals with disabilities or chronic conditions. Domiciliary care aims to enable individuals to live independently while receiving the necessary support to maintain their quality of life.
Universe Global Care Understands The Importance Of Receiving Care In The Comfort Of Your Own Home. Our CQC Registration Guarantees That Our Domiciliary Care Services Meet The Highest Safety And Quality Standards. We Offer Personalized Care Plans Tailored To Each Client’s Unique Needs, Promoting Independence While Ensuring Safety.
