Domiciliary Care for Children
Matching with a Caregiver
A Star Care understand the challenges of finding domiciliary care for children with additional needs and how important it is to find the right caregiver. We ensure the matchmaking process is taken seriously and that your child’s carer suits the requirements for your child’s needs but also that they’ll get on well with your family and child. Children with additional needs can sometimes require a specialist carer that can communicate in the right way with them. Nonverbal, anxious and challenging behaviours in children should be met with a qualified carer who can offer specialist home care and a personal approach for the client.
Domiciliary care for children offers solutions in the home for monitoring, assisting in daily tasks or administering medication as well as communicating and engaging children with special needs in activities or learning. Our carers adapt to every individual child as no two are the same, meeting requirements in the home or out of the house on visits and day trips. All of our carefully selected and employed carers have the relevant training and qualifications to provide in-home domiciliary care for children, and you’ll be matched with the ideal carer for your child.
When to Consider Domiciliary Care for Children
Seeking additional support for your child’s care at home can make a great difference to home life and family life, whether it’s long-term, short term or temporary. You should never feel guilty for asking for help with caring for your child, we understand how challenging it can be for parents or carers looking after children with additional needs.
It might be the time to look into domiciliary care for children when:
- Your child needs help with daily living tasks: This could include getting dressed, bathing, using the toilet, or eating. Domiciliary care providers can assist with these tasks, allowing your child to remain comfortable and independent in their own home.
- Your child has a disability or chronic illness: Children with physical disabilities, learning disabilities, autism, or other special needs may benefit from domiciliary care. Caregivers can provide support with specific challenges and help them participate in daily activities.
- You need respite care: Even the most dedicated parents need a break sometimes. Domiciliary care can provide short-term support, giving you time for self-care or other commitments.
- Your child requires medical care at home: If your child needs medical treatments or therapies that can be administered at home, domiciliary care providers can assist with medication management, administering therapies, and ensuring your child is comfortable.
