Domiciliary (HOURLY) care

What is domiciliary care?

Domiciliary care — also known as hourly care — involves a care assistant visiting you in your home, supporting your daily needs and enabling you to maintain your independence. With this kind of help, you can continue to live in your own home, keeping to your familiar routine and doing those things you enjoy.

Domiciliary care is generally provided for a minimum of 30 minutes and up to as many hours as you need. Carers can rotate, if required, and can visit you as many times as you choose – daily or weekly.

The benefits of ENA domiciliary care

Visits from a domiciliary carer help you to keep your independence and enable you to maintain control over your life.

A domiciliary carer can help with multiple household tasks, from meal preparation to cleaning, whilst providing companionship and emotional support when you need it.

We take great pride in our domiciliary care service, developed in addition to our live-in care. We guarantee a reliable, professional and dependable domiciliary care service at all times.
