About Domiciliary Services
At Domiciliary, we provide home care support to people living in Lewisham and the surrounding areas of London. Our work centres on helping individuals maintain their independence and live comfortably in their own homes, on their own terms. We have particular experience working with people who have learning disabilities and autism. We understand that support in this area needs to be consistent, thoughtful and genuinely tailored to each person. What works well for one individual will not necessarily suit another, and we take time to understand how each person communicates, what matters to them day to day, and how we can fit around their life rather than the other way around. Our care is delivered in the home, which means people get to stay in familiar surroundings, close to family, friends and community. For many of the people we support, that continuity makes a real difference. We are aware that our most recent CQC inspection resulted in a rating of requires improvement, and we want to be straightforward about that. We have taken the findings seriously and have been working through the areas identified, making practical changes to how we operate and how we monitor the quality of care being delivered. We believe in being open with people who are considering our support, and with the families involved in those decisions. If you are looking into home care for yourself or someone close to you, we would welcome the chance to have an honest conversation about what we offer and whether we might be the right fit. We are a local service, and being part of the Lewisham community matters to us. We want the people we support to feel genuinely looked after, not just seen to. Please do get in touch to find out more.
