Homecare
In the UK, home care (or domiciliary care) refers to professional support provided to individuals within their own homes, helping them maintain independence and quality of life. It’s designed for people who may need assistance due to age, illness, disability, or recovery from surgery, allowing them to remain in a familiar and comfortable environment rather than moving to a residential care facility.
