Understanding the heart of caring at home
Making decisions about caring for someone you love can bring a mix of emotions—concern, uncertainty, hope, and sometimes overwhelming responsibility. At Oxford House Community Care, we understand that choosing domiciliary care is about more than just practical support. It’s about preserving who your loved one is, while also ensuring their safety, comfort, and well-being.
With over 30 years of experience in care services, we’ve supported countless families through this journey. We understand that every conversation begins with love, concern, and the desire to do what’s best. Our role isn’t to rush decisions but to offer understanding, expertise, and gentle guidance. This helps families navigate the path with confidence and compassion.
What domiciliary care means for your family
The essence of domiciliary care
Domiciliary care provides professional support directly in your loved one’s home. This helps them stay independent while receiving the assistance they need. Unlike residential care, this approach keeps them in familiar surroundings, routines, and personal connections that make life meaningful.
Our care workers support a range of needs, including personal hygiene, mobility assistance, household tasks, and companionship. Each care package is tailored to individual needs, whether someone requires help with daily activities, medical support, or simply the reassurance that help is nearby.
The profound benefits of staying home
Choosing home care services means your loved one wakes up in their own bed, surrounded by belongings that tell their life story. This familiarity offers emotional comfort that cannot be matched elsewhere, often leading to better mental health and overall well-being.
For families, domiciliary care provides peace of mind, knowing professional caregivers are delivering quality support while safeguarding your loved one’s dignity and independence. The flexible scheduling allows care visits to adapt as needs change, ensuring the service grows with your family’s circumstances. This helps maintain the delicate balance between safety and independence.
Our approach to exceptional domiciliary care
At Oxford House Community Care, we believe that exceptional care at home starts with truly understanding the person we’re supporting. Our person-centred approach means we don’t just meet physical needs—we also honour preferences, respect routines, and celebrate the unique qualities that make each individual special.
Our professional caregivers are chosen not only for their skills but also for their genuine compassion and ability to form meaningful connections. Through thorough training and ongoing supervision, we deliver consistent, high-quality support that families can trust completely.
As a Care Quality Commission-registered provider and Great British Care Awards regional winner, we uphold the highest standards through regular risk assessments, ongoing training, and quality monitoring.

When challenges arise, our 24/7 support system and established relationships with social services and healthcare professionals mean families never have to face difficulties alone. We understand that care needs can change, and our flexible approach ensures your care and support plan adapts smoothly as your circumstances change.
Ready to explore how we can help?
Every family’s journey is different, and we’re here to listen without judgment or pressure. Speaking with someone who understands can bring clarity to questions you’re facing.
Beginning your journey with us
Starting domiciliary care begins with a thorough care needs assessment. We listen to your loved one’s preferences, understand their current challenges, and discuss family concerns. This isn’t a formal evaluation – it’s a genuine conversation about hopes, worries, and practical needs.
Following our assessment, we develop a detailed care plan that reflects your loved one’s personality, routines, and specific needs. Whether they require support with light housekeeping, emotional care, or managing complex medical equipment, every aspect is carefully considered and documented.
Our matching process makes sure the right care worker joins your family – someone whose personality, experience, and approach fit your loved one’s preferences. We introduce team members gradually so relationships can develop naturally, while still providing consistent, reliable support.
Implementation proceeds at a comfortable pace with regular check-ins to ensure it meets expectations. Our flexible care and support services allow quick adjustments as confidence grows and needs become clearer.
