Domiciliary Care Services in Lurgan and the Surrounding Area
MUNTAK Care Services provides professional domiciliary care services across Lurgan, Craigavon, Portadown, Banbridge and Armagh. Domiciliary care, often simply called home care, means our trained carers come to you, supporting you to live safely and well in your own home rather than moving into a care home. Whether you need a short visit a few times a week or full live-in support, we build our care around you.
What is domiciliary care?
Domiciliary care is care and support provided in a person’s own home. Instead of moving into residential care, you stay in the place you know best, surrounded by your own things and your own routine, while a carer helps with the tasks that have become harder to manage on your own.
That support can be as light or as involved as you need. For some people it is a hand with washing and dressing in the morning. For others it is help with meals, medication and getting to appointments, or full-time live-in care. The aim is always the same: to help you stay independent, comfortable and safe at home for as long as possible.

Frequently asked questions
There is no real difference. Domiciliary care is the formal term for care delivered in your own home, and most people simply call it home care. Both mean a carer comes to you rather than you moving into a care home.
For privately arranged care, we charge £28 per hour for genuine one-to-one support. Costs for live-in or longer packages are worked out around your individual needs, and we are always happy to talk things through clearly before you commit.
