Domiciliary care

Quality Care in the Comfort of Your Own Home

At Acire Care, we believe that home is where life is most meaningful and comfortable. With our domiciliary care services, you or your loved one can continue living in the place that feels most familiar—your own home. We provide ongoing, personalized support designed around your unique needs and daily routines, ensuring a seamless blend of care and independence.

Our approach is simple: you choose the care you need, and you only pay for the services you use. Whether it’s a few hours a day or full-time live-in care, our flexible care plans are crafted entirely around your lifestyle—no pre-packaged programs or rigid schedules.

The Benefits of Staying at Home

Domiciliary care offers a range of advantages over traditional residential care settings:

Personalized Support: Our care is tailored to meet your specific needs and preferences.
Independence: Maintain control over your daily life while living in a familiar environment.
Companionship: Build meaningful connections with dedicated carers who truly understand you.
Cost-Effective: Pay only for the care you need, making it an affordable alternative to care homes.
Community and Comfort: Stay connected to your neighborhood, and even keep your beloved pets at home.

Respect, Integrity, and Pride

At Acire Care, we uphold the highest standards of respect, honesty, and integrity in everything we do. Supporting the basic rights and dignity of every individual is our greatest responsibility and privilege. Our bespoke care services are designed to complement your existing routines rather than disrupt them, ensuring that life continues as smoothly as possible.

Alternatives to Care Homes

While care homes offer round-the-clock support, they’re not always the best fit for everyone. Many people prefer to remain in their own homes, surrounded by the comforts and routines they cherish. Moving to a new environment can be stressful and disruptive, particularly for those with complex needs.

With an increasing demand for personalized care, domiciliary services provide a viable alternative to traditional care homes. Our highly trained caregivers deliver the one-on-one support that many institutional settings simply cannot offer.

We believe that everyone deserves to live with dignity, comfort, and choice. Contact us today to discover how our tailored care plans can help you or your loved one thrive in the place you call home.

Live-In Carer

What Does a Live-In Carer Do?

A live-in carer is there to provide dedicated support tailored to your individual needs, allowing you to enjoy life on your terms. From helping with daily routines to providing companionship, their role is as flexible as you need it to be. If there are certain tasks you enjoy doing yourself, they’ll respect your preferences and focus on the areas where you need assistance most.

Here’s a glimpse of what a live-in carer can do for you:

Prepare Nutritious Meals: Cooking fresh, homemade meals regularly to ensure you receive the nutrients you need.
Run Errands: From collecting prescriptions to picking up essentials, they ensure you have everything you need without added stress.
Household Assistance: Helping with tasks like cleaning, laundry, and other domestic chores to keep your home running smoothly.
Personal Care: Supporting you with bathing, dressing, and toileting to maintain comfort and dignity.
Companionship: Providing emotional support, friendship, and someone to share your day with.
Pet Care: Helping with feeding, walking, and caring for your pet, so you never have to worry about their well-being.

A live-in carer makes a meaningful difference, enabling you to focus on what matters most while enjoying life to its fullest.

Advanced Live-In Care and Support

If you or your loved one requires additional assistance at home due to complex care needs, our advanced live-in care and support services are here to help. Designed for individuals living with conditions such as dementia, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, MS, or requiring specialized equipment like hoists, we provide comprehensive, compassionate care tailored to your specific needs.

Full Assistance at Home

Our advanced live-in care services cater to a wide range of needs, including:

Supervision when moving around the home.
Full assistance with personal care, including showering, bathing, shaving, and oral hygiene.
Support with dressing and managing incontinence, including toilet hygiene and emptying commodes, bottles, or catheter bags.
Assistance with eating and drinking.
Medication management, including prompting and reordering prescriptions.
Supervision for forgetfulness, repetitive behaviors, or advanced memory loss.
Companionship and emotional support.

In addition to specialized care, carers can also assist with meal preparation, light housekeeping, errands, domestic administration, and recreational activities, ensuring a well-rounded approach to care and support.

Standard Live-In Care and Support

For those who need less intensive assistance but still require a helping hand around the house, our standard live-in care and support is an ideal solution. This option is perfect for individuals who are generally independent but benefit from some day-to-day support.

Providing Care and Support at Home

Our standard live-in care includes:

Mobility assistance, such as steadying or help with walking aids.
Partial assistance with personal care, including bathing, shaving, and oral hygiene.
Help with dressing and light support with toilet visits or managing a commode.
Prompting for medication and assistance with ordering prescriptions.
Help with food preparation, including cutting food if needed.
Emotional support and companionship.

Carers also support with meal preparation, light housekeeping, errands, and recreational activities, as well as accompanying you on shopping trips or appointments.

Nightly Support

For those who require care and assistance primarily during the night, our nightly support service provides comfort, security, and peace of mind.

Extra Help During the Night

Nightly support is ideal for individuals who need assistance such as:

Toileting during the night.
Reassurance and companionship to help you feel safe and secure.
Continuous monitoring to ensure a restful and worry-free night.

Unlike live-in care options, which include some degree of night-time support, our dedicated nightly service is specifically designed for clients whose care needs are focused on the night.

To ensure high-quality care and well-being for both clients and carers, we recommend an additional carer for daytime duties if night care is required on an ongoing basis.

At Acire Care, our live-in and nightly care services are customized to meet your unique needs, providing you with the independence and support to live life comfortably and confidently at home.
