What is home care nursing?

What is it like to work for a nursing agency?
Our care professionals generally work independently, but they act as the eyes and ears of the entire care team. We support our professionals throughout all the stages of care.

What does domiciliary care mean?
Domiciliary care refers to care that is offered in an individual’s home. It is another name for home care. In domiciliary care, the caregiver offers services such as cooking, cleaning, and helping with personal hygiene and grooming. Domiciliary care can be included in a patient’s home care package or bought privately depending on the individual’s needs.
Why is home care important?
When someone is suffering a chronic condition or they are unable to care for themselves, they usually end up in a hospital or home where they are surrounded by doctors and patients. Such an environment can be depressing, especially if one is stuck there for a long period of time.
Home care allows the sick, incapacitated, and elderly to access treatment and personalised care at the comfort of their homes. The familiar environment gives a sense of security which promotes happiness and peace. When someone is receiving care at home, they are surrounded by their loved ones, and this promotes quick recovery. The ability to be in a space with personal possessions, treasured memories, and familiar sight and sounds also promote an overall feeling of wellness.
