About Acqua Doria
Acqua Doria provides care in people's own homes in Alton and across Hampshire. We support older adults, younger adults, people living with dementia, and people living with a physical disability. Coming into somebody's home is a privilege and we treat it as one. We knock, we ask, we do not rearrange things to suit ourselves, and we work to the routines already in place rather than importing our own. That sounds like a small matter and it is not. It is usually the difference between care that feels like help and care that feels like an intrusion. The support itself can cover personal care, prompting or administering medication, meals, keeping the home in order, shopping and getting to appointments. For a person living with dementia we keep visits as predictable as we can, in their order and their language and, wherever possible, with the same faces, so that each visit feels like a continuation rather than a fresh start. We review arrangements properly rather than letting them drift. Needs change, sometimes quickly after an illness or a fall, and the package that suited somebody in the spring may be wrong by the autumn. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are considering care at home for yourself or a relative, please get in touch and we will talk it through.
