Care in Your Own Home
You can receive care at home ranging from
Personal care – washing, dressing, meal preparation,
feeding, toileting -
to
Medical care – changing dressings, giving medicine,
ongoing medical assessment.
This will generally be the first stage of care for most,
as people generally prefer to stay in their own home
for as long as they can.

Domestic assistance and/or help with personal care
The level of care can be easily flexed to your changing
needs
Disadvantages
The person delivering the care may change from day
to day
Can be expensive in the long term
Can sometimes be lonely alone at home
