Domiciliary Care
Personal Care For You Or Your Loved Ones
Domiciliary Care & Personal Care
Domiciliary Care is the care of someone in their own home. Illness, impairment or age can make it difficult to carry out all of the personal care tasks that you perhaps once handled around the home with ease. Our trained and qualified care assistants have assisted many individuals with their personal care needs. You will find that they are understanding and sympathetic, without being patronising. They will respect your dignity at all times.
The care assistant’s objective is to enable you to retain and maintain as much independence as possible. Our Care Assistants understand that every client is an individual, with their own personal needs, preferences and values, and they will always respect your privacy and dignity.
All support arrangements will be completely personalised to your requirements, involving your family members if you wish, and we will only provide the services that you have asked for in your care and support plan. Whether you need a lot of assistance every day or just small amounts from time to time, Caremark’s domiciliary care plans can assist you with a wide variety of personal care tasks.

It also provides vital, temporary assistance for those recovering from a recent hospital stay or adjusting to changes in their health.
The benefits extend beyond the individual, offering invaluable peace of mind to families and loved ones. Knowing that a compassionate and reliable Care Assistant is visiting regularly brings immense comfort and reassurance.
We work closely with you to create a fully personalised care plan that seamlessly aligns with your specific needs, your daily routine and the little details that make your day enjoyable.

Feedback on Caremark’s Domiciliary Care Service
‘We realised that dad needed a bit of extra support to safely remain in his house. He’s always been fiercely independent, so we were worried about introducing a care assistants into his daily routine. We needn’t have worried.
Caremark has been absolutely exceptional from day one. They matched Dad with a carers who perfectly suit his personality. They don’t just help him with the practical things they also bring so much warmth into his day. He genuinely looks forward to their visits and the chats they have over a coffee.
For me the relief has been immeasurable. I used to worrying about whether he was safe or if he was feeling lonely. Now, I have complete peace of mind knowing that he is supported and happy’.

Caremark’s Domiciliary Care FAQ’s
What exactly is Domiciliary Care?
Domiciliary care simply means receiving professional care and support in the comfort of your own home. Rather than moving into a residential care home, a trained Care Assistant visits you at agreed times to help with day-to-day tasks that may have become difficult due to age, illness, or restricted mobility. The goal is to provide the exact level of support you need to remain safe, confident, and independent at home.
What kind of tasks can a Care Assistant help me with?
Our Care Assistants can assist with a wide variety of personal and practical tasks. This includes support with getting up and preparing for bed, washing, showering, dressing, and continence care. They can also help with personal grooming, managing and prompting medication, preparing nutritious meals and light household chores like laundry. If you have any specific needs, just ask. Our care is entirely tailored to you.
How often can a Care Assistant visit?
Visit times are entirely flexible and built around your routine. Some clients prefer a short visit a few times a week for help with a shower and grocery shopping, while others require visits several times a day to assist with meals, medication and bedtime routines. As you, or your family member’s needs change, your care plan can be adjusted.
Will I have the same Care Assistant every time?
We know how important it is to see a familiar face and build a trusting relationship. We always aim to provide your support through a small, dedicated team of regular Care Assistants who get to know you, your home and your preferences. If your regular Care Assistant is on leave, we will always inform you in advance and ensure a trusted replacement is introduced.
How much does Domiciliary Care cost?
Because every care plan is uniquely tailored to the individual, the cost depends on the level of support you require and the frequency of visits. We offer a free, no-obligation consultation to discuss your needs and provide a clear, tailored quote.
It is also worth noting that you or your family may be eligible to claim up to 40% tax relief on home care costs, and we can advise you on how this works. You may also be eligible for support through the HSE Home Support Service.
Do you support people with complex health conditions?
Absolutely. While many of our clients are older adults needing a little extra help, our Care Assistants are also fully trained to support individuals living with physical disabilities, dementia, Parkinson’s, or those recovering from a stroke or hospital stay. We work closely with you, your family and any relevant healthcare professionals to ensure your support is safe, dignified and perfectly suited to your condition.
How quickly can care be arranged?
We understand that sometimes care is needed urgently, particularly after a hospital discharge or a sudden change in health. In many cases, we can put a safe, comprehensive care plan in place very quickly. The first step is to simply reach out to your local Caremark office for a friendly chat about your situation.
