Domiciliary Care

Trusted Domiciliary Home Care in and around Ross-on-Wye

It is really difficult and stressful for almost all elderly men and women when they start to feel they are unable to manage by themselves anymore and the anxiety about having to leave their own home and move into a residential home. At Total Living Care, we know that moving into a residential care home usually takes them away from their friends and their local community, leaving them feeling they have lost themselves and their independence.



It’s also a tough time for family and friends as the difficulties of looking after an older loved one takes them away from their work and very own immediate family along with them having to be concerned that their loved one is ok 24 hours of the day. As a member of the family gets older you want to enjoy the time you have with them rather than preparing food, cleaning, washing, running errands and getting them to appointments. Often people don’t think about the choice of having a carer coming into their relative’s residence to help them a couple of hours a day, full time or actually living in with them to avoid them from going into a care home as they believe the price might be an excessive amount. This isn’t always the case and Total Living Care can help you establish this.

Short Term Domiciliary Care

The advantages of recovering at home after a hospital stay or after an operation are endless. Recovery time is known to be much quicker if the support they need is there, pain levels can be reduced as people are more comfortable in their own home, and most importantly it offers the flexibility of recovering at your own pace in familiar surroundings. The loss of independence can be a worrying factor when someone comes home from the hospital or is recovering from an operation so Domiciliary Care is always beneficial and a service to consider.
