What Is Domiciliary Care?
Our home care and support services provides you the flexibility to live safely in your own home.
Domiciliary care with Bluebird Care South Somerset is a type of care that’s delivered at home, allowing you to stay in a safe, familiar environment, which carries proven physical and psychological benefits. It involves a variety of tasks, including household chores, personal care, and companionship.
Despite the name, home care services also include support outside the home, including support attending appointments, visiting friends and family, and shopping. The goal of domiciliary care is to support you to live a satisfying, independent life, whatever that means to you.
Our home care services in South Somerset offer an alternative to residential care, allowing you to feel supported and encouraged without leaving the comfort of your home.
We will soon be entering our eighth year with Bluebird Care South Somerset who continue to provide exemplary care to my daughter. Over this time her care needs have increased significantly and as each change comes about, they work with us to ensure that her care plan takes these into account. This is all done in a very seamless way. The care staff are kind, and good-humoured and show an interest in the things that she enjoys. The administration team/rota planning staff are excellent and go out of their way to work with us to enable my daughter to participate in those activities outside of the home that she so enjoys. This care company is the one constant, stable part of my daughter's life enabling her to live at home, with their support. Thank you.
