Health and social care

Domiciliary carers come to the home of the child or young person to help with her/his care.

• Parents can have a break, spend time with their other children, or go out.
• Domiciliary carers can dress, feed, bathe and toilet children. They can also take children out for activities.

This service cannot accept responsibility for the care of brothers or sisters who do not have a disability.

Carers may visit in late afternoons or evenings, on school days or at weekends. Visits will be for an agreed number of hours every one or two weeks depending on the family's needs and the availability of the carer.
