NICE Guideline NG86 - People's experience in adult social care services: improving the experience of care and support for people using adult social care services
Care provided in a person's own home by paid care workers to help them with their daily life. It is also known as domiciliary care. Home care workers are usually employed by an independent agency, and the service may be arranged by the local council or by the person that needs care (or someone acting on their behalf). (Combination of definitions in NG86 and NG74)
