About Domiciliary Service
We at Preston Domiciliary Service are proud to provide compassionate home care across Preston and the wider Lancashire community, supporting people to live well and independently in the place they know best: their own home. Our team works throughout Preston and the surrounding PR postcode area in the North West, bringing care directly to the doorsteps of those who need it. Rather than asking people to adapt to a new environment, we come to you, respecting the familiar rhythms of daily life, the treasured belongings, the family photographs on the mantelpiece, and the comfort of a favourite armchair. For many, staying at home is central to wellbeing, and our role is to make that possible with warmth, dignity, and practical support. We specialise in a broad range of care needs, which means families can turn to us with confidence whatever their circumstances. Our home care support extends to adults living with learning disabilities and autism, where we focus on person centred routines that promote independence, choice, and meaningful daily activity. For those managing mental health conditions, we offer steady, understanding companionship and support that recognises each person as an individual, not a diagnosis. We also assist people with physical disabilities, helping with mobility, personal care, and everyday tasks in a way that preserves autonomy and self respect. For residents living with visual or hearing impairments, we adapt our communication and approach to ensure every interaction is clear, patient, and respectful of individual preferences. In practice, this means our care is never one size fits all. We take time to understand each person, their history, their preferences, their goals, and the small details that make a real difference to quality of life. Families tell us that knowing a familiar, trusted carer is visiting their loved one brings enormous peace of mind, particularly for those who live at a distance or juggle busy lives alongside their caring responsibilities. The Care Quality Commission has rated Preston Domiciliary Service as Good overall, following its most recent inspection. We achieved a Good rating across all five key areas assessed by the CQC: Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive, and Well led. This independent recognition reflects our commitment to safe practice, effective outcomes, genuine kindness, responsiveness to changing needs, and strong leadership behind the scenes. For families, it offers reassurance that the care being provided meets the standards expected by the national regulator. If you are exploring home care options for yourself or someone you love, we warmly invite you to get in touch. Choosing care is a significant decision, and we are here to answer your questions, listen to your concerns, and help you understand what support might look like for your family. At Preston Domiciliary Service, our door and our phone line are always open to those seeking guidance and genuine, compassionate care at home.
