Domiciliary Care in Nottingham
Domiciliary care enables people to receive personalised support within their own home while remaining in familiar surroundings.
At Empowerment Living, care is considered around the individual's needs, preferences, routines and circumstances, with a focus on dignity, choice and independence.
Understanding home care
What Is Domiciliary Care?
Domiciliary care, sometimes described as home care or visiting care, is support provided to an individual within their own home.
The type, frequency and level of support required can differ considerably from one person to another.
The aim is to provide appropriate support while helping the person remain connected to their own routines, home and everyday life.
Considering support
Who May Benefit from Care at Home?
Care at home may be worth discussing for people who:
- would prefer to remain living in their own home
- require regular or occasional support
- value maintaining familiar routines
- need an individually considered support arrangement
- want support centred around greater independence and choice
Person-centred support
Support Built Around Your Routine
Care should fit around the person rather than forcing the person into a rigid service model.
Understanding preferences, routines and preferred ways of communicating helps shape a respectful arrangement. Dignity, choice and independence remain important throughout the discussion.
- Personal preferences
- Everyday routines
- Clear communication
- Dignity and choice

Common questions
Domiciliary Care FAQs
These answers provide general guidance. The right next step depends on the individual circumstances and assessed needs.
What is the difference between domiciliary care and live-in care?
Domiciliary care is provided through agreed visits or periods of support at home. Live-in care involves a caregiver living in the person's home as part of an agreed arrangement. Suitability depends on assessed needs.
Can domiciliary care be arranged around individual needs?
Care should be considered around the individual's assessed needs, routines, preferences and circumstances. The proposed arrangement is discussed before support is agreed.
