Domiciliary care in Oxford

Domiciliary care is also known more generally as home care, and is any support offered in the comfort and safety of your own home. Compared to moving to residential care facility or nursing home, domiciliary care is more accommodating and personal. With this kind of care, a fully trained and compassionate carer comes to your home and offers you the practical and emotional support you need to carry on living your life the way you want to live it.

At Helping Hands, we believe that flexibility is important, so we offer a range of different kinds of home to suit people with very different needs. We primary provide either live-in care Oxford, for more comprehensive and round-the-clock assistance, or visiting care, where one of our staff visits you in your home on a regular schedule that you decide on.

Domiciliary care from our home care Oxford team is appropriate for many different situations; some of our customers are elderly and find that they need a little extra help managing the everyday tasks that have now become somewhat more challenging. Domiciliary care is also suitable if you are living with limited mobility or a medical condition, including dementia. Our carers have a special interest in working around the extra care needs that come with these conditions.

Our philosophy is always to tailor care to fit and each and every one of our unique customers.
