Why we care

Aylecare Domiciliary was established in 2006 and is a branch of Aylecare Nursing Services Ltd. Due to increased requests for domiciliary care and with personal experience of a close family member not receiving quality care, it was decided to use our great wealth of experience and personal knowledge of what necessitated quality care to branch into home care. It is this extensive experience of care in the community, that enables us to work in partnership with local authorities and housing associations to find flexible home care solutions to local problems.

Our aim, is to promote independence for each individual to live in their own home for as long as possible.
