Domestic care and housekeeping services

You or your loved one might think of help in the home as support with personal care, including getting dressed or undressed and support with medication or mobility around the home, but many of our clients also ask Caremark for help with domestic care or housekeeping.

Introducing Caremark’s domestic care services

Support with some of life's more tedious tasks such as emptying the bins or changing the bed sheets and dusting, can be very physically demanding and often we find clients simply cannot manage to do them due to being older and less able bodied or having physical disabilities.

Relief from the pressure of chores

For older clients, it can be a great help to hand the daily chores over to someone else. Delegating these tasks to Caremark means that you able to save your time and energy for more important things in life, like spending time with your family and friends.

Putting you or your loved one in control

Our care assistants understand that everyone has their own unique way of doing things and their own personal standard of housekeeping. You or your loved one will be in control of the services we provide, and we will be happy to carry out tasks according to your or your family member's preferences and requirements. We understand that you/they may have spent years keeping up with domestic duties and that trusting someone else with that responsibility may feel a little strange at first.

We’ll look to you or your loved one for guidance and instruction on how you/they would like something done wherever possible.
