What is Domiciliary (Home) Care?

A Guide to Support at Home by AESN Care

If you or a loved one needs regular support but would prefer to stay at home, domiciliary care could be the ideal solution. It offers the flexibility and dignity of staying in familiar surroundings, with professional care tailored around your lifestyle.

At AESN Care, we deliver person-centred domiciliary care that supports independence, comfort, and wellbeing — right at your doorstep.

What is Domiciliary Care?

Also known as home care, domiciliary care is when trained care professionals visit someone in their own home to help them live safely and comfortably. The support provided can range from a few short visits per week to multiple visits per day, depending on the person’s needs.

According to the NHS, home care helps people stay “independent in their own home” while receiving the assistance they require.
