Etymology

The term 'domiciliary' has its roots in the Latin word 'domicilium', which means 'home' or 'residence'. The evolution of the word reflects the increasing recognition of the need for healthcare and support services to be provided in comfortable, familiar environments. In the 19th century, the concept of domiciliary care began to gain traction, as societal views shifted towards the importance of individual autonomy and the desire for patients to remain in their own homes during times of illness or recovery. As medical advances reduced the need for hospital stays and rehabilitation, domiciliary services expanded, ultimately becoming a crucial component of modern healthcare systems worldwide.
