Domiciliary care (or in-home care)
‘Domiciliary care’ means care that supports people to live in their own homes. This could mean extra support with household tasks, personal care, or any other activity that the person would find difficult on their own. At Hft, this means supporting learning disabled people to live the best lives possible.
We support each person in a way that suits them. Whether that’s all the time, or just dropping in to support with specific tasks, like washing and cleaning. We take a person-centred approach to care that empowers individuals. This means supporting people to do things themselves, rather than doing it for them. We know this leads to more engagement, and to people taking more control over their own lives.
Staffing
We make sure that our staff are fully trained in person-centred active support. Our trained staff can empower the people they support to enjoy inclusion, independence and choice. It’s a model of support that we’ve seen lead to great outcomes for the people we support, time and time again.
We recruit our staff from the local community so that they can use their knowledge of the area to support people to lead a full and varied life.
Regulation
Domiciliary care is legally regulated. Our services are registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC), who regulate care provision in England.
We take the standard of care and support we offer very seriously. You can view the CQC ratings that our services have received on our CQC ratings page.
Independence
People choose domiciliary care for the independence that comes with it. Living in your own home, and being in control of your own life. That’s why we work with the people we support to find opportunities to boost that independence, safely and easily.
For example, we could fit a fingerprint lock on the front door, so that you don’t have to worry about forgetting your keys. For some people, this could be the difference between loneliness and isolation and getting out and about.
