About Merseyside Domiciliary Care

Merseyside Domiciliary Care supports people in their own homes in Knowsley and the surrounding part of Merseyside. We work with older people and with younger adults, including adults with learning disabilities and autistic adults. Everything begins with a visit at home, because what somebody needs is obvious in their own kitchen and seldom obvious on a form. We want to know how the household runs, who is already helping, what the person manages perfectly well without us and where help would make a real difference. The plan comes out of that and belongs to the person to change. Support may be a single daily call for personal care and medication, several visits covering meals, housework, shopping and company, or support aimed less at the body than at independence: cooking alongside somebody, managing money, getting to college or work, keeping appointments. We would rather spend an hour helping a person learn to do something than ten minutes doing it for them. Where somebody communicates in their own way we learn it and write it down, so the whole team responds alike rather than each carer improvising. We keep support teams small and introduce new staff properly instead of sending strangers at short notice. Our carers are checked, trained and supervised. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall, and we are glad to discuss how we would approach a particular situation.
