Home care for chronic illnesses: How domiciliary care makes a difference

 

Domiciliary care, also known as home care, can make a really big difference for someone living with a chronic illness.

Staying Comfortable at Home

• Being in a familiar place can be much less stressful than being in a hospital or care facility. This is especially important for people with chronic illnesses, as stress can sometimes make their symptoms worse.
• Domiciliary care allows people to maintain their independence and routines, which can really boost their emotional well-being.

Personalised Support

• Taking medications on time
• Preparing meals
• Bathing and dressing
• Moving around the house

Emotional Well-being

• Chronic illnesses can sometimes lead to feelings of loneliness or isolation. Domiciliary caregivers can provide companionship and emotional support, which can make a big difference in someone’s overall happiness.

Help for Families

• Caring for someone with a chronic illness can be challenging for families. Domiciliary care can provide much-needed respite, giving family members a break to rest and recharge.

Health Monitoring

• Caregivers can help monitor the person’s health and report any changes to their medical team. This can help to catch potential problems early on.
