Domiciliary care Peterborough offers personalised home support for families looking to keep loved ones safe, independent, and cared for at home. Therefore, If you’re exploring care options for a loved one in Peterborough or the surrounding areas, you’ve likely come across the term “domiciliary care.” But what exactly does it mean? Is it the right choice for your family?
At Ndima Healthcare, we believe that making informed decisions about care shouldn’t feel overwhelming. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about domiciliary care — from what it is, to how it works, and how families in Peterborough can access high-quality, compassionate support in the comfort of their own homes.
What Is Domiciliary Care?
Domiciliary care, also known as home care, is a type of support provided to individuals in their own homes. It’s designed to help people maintain their independence, dignity, and routine, while still receiving assistance with daily living tasks.
This type of care is suitable for:
- Older adults needing assistance with mobility, hygiene, or meals
- People recovering from surgery or illness
- Individuals with long-term conditions such as dementia
- Children and adults with physical or learning disabilities
- Families needing short-term respite or emergency care
Domiciliary care can range from short, scheduled visits to 24-hour live-in support, depending on the individual’s needs.
What Are the Benefits of Domiciliary Care?
✅ Comfort and Familiarity
Remaining in a familiar home environment helps reduce stress and confusion, particularly for people living with dementia or other memory conditions.
✅ Tailored, One-to-One Support
Unlike residential care, domiciliary care provides dedicated attention based on the person’s unique needs, preferences, culture, and routine.
✅ Flexibility and Control
You choose the schedule. Whether it’s help once a week or several times a day, care is adaptable and responsive to changing needs.
✅ Encourages Independence
Our carers support individuals to do as much as they can for themselves, preserving their autonomy while offering safety and reassurance.
✅ Local and Community-Based
Choosing a local provider like Ndima Healthcare LTD means your carers understand the Peterborough area, community resources, and local health systems.

- Older people who are starting to need more support at home
