While broad in scope, these standards acknowledge the unique and complex needs of individuals, and the additional specific knowledge, and skills required in order to deliver a service that is tailored to the needs of each person. With the emphasis on caring for people with complex health and personal care needs living in their own home instead of in residential or nursing homes or long stay hospitals, the provision of personal domiciliary care services is evolving rapidly and reflects changes at the interface between health and social care. These standards will be applied to agencies providing personal care to the wide range of people who need care and support whilst living in their own home, including: older people, people with physical disabilities, people with sensory loss including dual sensory impairment, people with mental health problems, people with learning disabilities, children and their families, and personal or family carers.
