COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions about Domiciliary Care

What is domiciliary care?

Domiciliary care — also called home care — is professional support delivered in your own home by trained carers. It covers everything from help with washing, dressing and meals through to medication support, companionship and complex clinical care. The goal is to allow you to remain independent and comfortable in familiar surroundings rather than moving into a residential facility.

How is domiciliary care different from live-in care?

With domiciliary care, a carer visits your home for a set number of hours — typically one to four times a day — and then leaves. Live-in care means a carer moves into your home and provides round-the-clock support. Domiciliary care suits people who need regular help but are otherwise independent; live-in care suits those who need continuous supervision or have complex needs.

Is domiciliary care regulated?

Yes. All domiciliary care providers in England must be registered with and inspected by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). Caring Care is CQC-registered, and our carers are fully trained, DBS-checked and supported by a dedicated management team.

How quickly can domiciliary care start?

In most cases we can begin care within 24 to 48 hours of your initial assessment, depending on your location and the level of support required. Contact us and we will guide you through the process.

Does domiciliary care cost more than a care home?

Domiciliary care is often considerably more cost-effective than a residential care home, particularly if you only need a few hours of support per day. Costs vary depending on the number of visits and type of care required. We provide transparent pricing with no hidden fees — contact us for a personalised quote.

Can I get funding for domiciliary care?

You may be eligible for local authority funding following a Care Act assessment carried out by your local council. Some people also qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare. If you are funding care privately, our team can explain all the options available to you.
