Care at home involves carers coming into your home to support you with various aspects of your daily life. The important thing to remember is that care at home focusing on supporting you to retain your independence, carers aren’t there to ‘take over’, just lend an extra hand where needed. Plus, you’re in total control of the level and type of support you have.
