For many of us, home is more than just a house—it’s a place filled with memories, comfort, and a sense of belonging. That’s why we’re passionate about providing domiciliary care services and live-in care solutions that allow you or your loved ones to stay in the comfort of your own home while receiving the support you need.


Whether it’s a little help with daily tasks or round-the-clock care, our team of compassionate and professional caregivers is here to make life easier, safer, and more enjoyable. Let’s take a closer look at how we can support you.

Compassionate, Personalised Home Care in London with HTR Care

There comes a time in life when we or our loved ones may need extra support to continue living independently at home. At HTR Care, we understand the importance of staying in the comfort and familiarity of one’s own home while receiving the care needed. Our domiciliary care services are designed to offer compassionate, professional support, tailored to each individual’s specific needs and circumstances. Whether it's assistance with personal care, medication management, or simply providing companionship, our dedicated carers are here to help.

What is Domiciliary Care, and Who is it For?

Domiciliary care, also known as home care, provides essential support to individuals who may struggle with everyday tasks but wish to maintain their independence. This flexible, personalised service allows individuals to stay in their own homes instead of moving into a care facility. It is especially beneficial for:

  • Elderly individuals who need help with daily activities
  • People with disabilities requiring regular support
  • Those recovering from illness, surgery, or injury
  • Individuals with dementia who need specialist care
  • Family caregivers in need of respite support

At HTR Care, we offer a wide range of services to meet the diverse needs of our clients across London and surrounding areas.

Our Domiciliary Care Services

Every individual is unique, and so are their care needs. That’s why we offer a wide range of services designed to provide the right level of support for you or your loved one.

1. Personal Care

We understand the private nature of personal care, which is why we always approach it with dignity, respect, and discretion. Maintaining personal hygiene and appearance is essential for both health and self-esteem. Our carers offer sensitive assistance with:

  • Bathing and showering to promote cleanliness and comfort
  • Help with dressing and grooming to ensure individuals feel their best
  • Support with oral hygiene to maintain overall health
  • Assistance with morning routines and getting ready for bed

2. Medication Management for Peace of Mind

Managing medication can be challenging, but it is crucial for overall health. Our carers provide:

  • Gentle reminders to take medication as prescribed
  • Assistance with opening medication bottles or packaging
  • Supervision to ensure safe medication intake
  • Monitoring medication levels and notifying family members or healthcare professionals when a refill is necessary

3. Meal Preparation and Nutritional Support

We believe that food should be both nourishing and enjoyable, which is why we focus on making mealtimes both pleasant and healthy. Proper nutrition plays a vital role in maintaining health and well-being. Our carers assist with:

  • Planning and preparing meals that meet dietary needs and preferences
  • Shopping for fresh, nutritious groceries
  • Serving meals in a manner that is both enjoyable and appetising
  • Cleaning up afterwards, ensuring a hygienic kitchen

4. Companionship and Social Interaction

Sometimes, the presence of a caring companion can make a significant difference. Loneliness and isolation can significantly impact a person’s mental health. Our carers not only provide practical assistance but also offer companionship through:

  • Going for walks to enjoy fresh air and exercise
  • Visiting family, friends, or local community groups
  • Attending church services, social clubs, or day centres
  • Engaging in meaningful conversations and activities at home

5. Mobility Assistance for Independence and Safety

Staying active is essential for both physical and emotional well-being, particularly for those with mobility challenges. Our carers help with:

  • Safely getting in and out of bed
  • Moving around the home with confidence
  • Using the bathroom with support and dignity
  • Dressing assistance to promote independence

6. Respite Care for Family Caregivers

Respite care ensures that family caregivers can rest and recharge, knowing their loved ones are being cared for with the utmost attention. Caring for a loved one can be a deeply rewarding experience, but it can also be physically and emotionally taxing. Our respite care services offer family caregivers the opportunity to take a well-deserved break by:

  • Providing short-term care during the caregiver’s time off
  • Offering companionship and assistance in the caregiver’s absence
  • Helping with essential tasks such as bathing, dressing, and grooming

7. Specialist Dementia Care

Our goal is to enhance the quality of life for individuals with dementia while providing peace of mind to their families. Caring for someone with dementia requires understanding, patience, and specialised knowledge. Our trained carers provide:

  • A safe and supportive home environment tailored specifically to dementia care
  • Engaging activities to encourage mental stimulation
  • Personalised routines to help reduce confusion and anxiety
  • Emotional support for both the individual and their family

8. Household Support and Errands

A well-maintained home contributes to a sense of comfort and security. Our carers can assist with:

  • Light housekeeping, including laundry and ironing
  • Keeping living spaces tidy and hygienic
  • Running errands, such as picking up prescriptions or pensions
  • Helping with grocery shopping and ensuring food is stored properly
