What is domiciliary care and how is it different from a care home?
Domiciliary care (also called home care) means a carer visits your loved one at their own home — helping with personal care, medication, meals and companionship. Unlike a care home, your loved one stays in familiar surroundings. All agencies on CareAH provide domiciliary care only — we do not list care homes or residential settings.
Are all domiciliary care agencies in South Shields CQC registered?
Every agency listed on CareAH is registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) based on our most recent sync of the CQC public register. By law, any organisation providing regulated domiciliary care in England must be CQC registered. Agencies that lose CQC registration, or are rated Inadequate by the CQC, are removed from our platform when we next sync. Data from the CQC public register may be subject to delays outside our control — always verify an agency's current status at cqc.org.uk before arranging care.
