What is visiting care

What is visiting care?

Visiting care (sometimes called hourly or domiciliary care) is when a carer visits your loved one at home for scheduled visits - from as little as three hours at a time. During each visit they can help with personal care, meals, medication, light housework and companionship.

It's one of the most flexible types of home care. Visits can be arranged daily, weekly, or at times that suit your routine, and support can easily be increased if needs change. All carers introduced through Match with Care are interviewed and background checked.
