The Domiciliary Care agency is located in Cardiff and is a specialist agency specifically registered to support individuals that reside in a 24 hour Supported Living Scheme in the city of Cardiff. We also provide an outreach service for individuals who move on into their own accommodation the hours will vary depending upon the identified needs of the individual. The agency has been registered since 2006 and since it has been established has built up a portfolio of services in the Cardiff area, specifically working with a housing association to provide supported housing for service users that require 24 hour support in their own specialist accommodation.
We are able to support individuals in a variety of settings and can assist with sourcing accommodation. We will develop a package of care and support based on an individual’s assessed needs. By managing an individual’s risk we ensure that they achieve as much independence as possible.
