Enjoy good company & conversation with day care at home
Social interaction can do wonders for our wellbeing. Our home day care services provide good company, no matter what you enjoy doing.
What is
day care at home?
Not everyone needs full-time care, but sometimes a little support during the day can make a big difference. Our day care service is designed for people who want to stay in their own home, but could use some help, structure or friendly company during the day. Whether it’s preparing meals, helping with mobility or offering companionship, our care givers are there to make your day feel brighter and more manageable.
Your day carer can support with:
Companionship & Conversation
A friend to enjoy spending time with, over a cup of tea or out and about.
Respite for Family Caregivers
Peace of mind for your family, good company and independence for you.
Hobbies & Daily Routine
So you can keep up with your social activities.
Light Household Tasks
Like dusting, hoovering or changing the bed.
Running Errands
Whether that’s going to the post office or picking up shopping.
Meal Preparation
Nutritious meals using your favourite ingredients.
Why choose
day care at home?
For many older adults, staying at home is deeply important. There are so many benefits to our wellbeing from staying in a place where we’re comfortable and surrounded by the people, pets and things we love. But that doesn’t mean we have to go without a helping hand.
With day care at home, you or your loved one get one-on-one support, whether that’s meal preparation, social connection or medication prompting, without leaving the comfort and familiarity of their surroundings. It also provides peace of mind for families, knowing a trusted carer is there when you can’t be.
Make a genuine connection with day care from Visiting Angels
We believe good care starts with the right relationship. That’s why we do things a little differently. When you receive day care from Visiting Angels, you get the final choice over who you invite into your home – and you’ll see the same friendly face every time. We’ll help you find someone with the same interests who fits your personality, providing the perfect foundations for a lasting relationship.
Whether you need a couple of hours of help each morning or a regular afternoon routine, it’s better to spend time with people you actually like.
We put our carers first, so they can put you first.

How does day care at home work?
How often do day carers visit?
That’s completely up to you. Some people benefit from daily visits, while others may prefer support a few times a week. We’ll help you build a care schedule that fits around routines, family commitments and changing needs.
What kinds of tasks can an at home day care giver help with?
Our day carers can support with a wide range of everyday activities, including meal preparation, help with personal care, medication prompting and light house keeping. For many people, they choose day care to have a regular friendly face for a chat or shared activity.
What are the benefits of receiving day care at home?
Day care at home helps people maintain their independence while getting the support they need in a familiar, comfortable setting. It can help reduce loneliness, promote wellbeing and provide relief for family carers.
