There are few domiciliary care services available, which are provided by non-governmental organisations (ARDSI, 2010). As part of these services, volunteers or social workers visit families at their homes, providing support to caregivers in the form of counselling, guidance, and sometimes also aid persons with dementia to carry out activities of daily living such as grooming or bathing (ARDSI, 2010). For example, dementia organisations like NMT and private attender agencies like Portea, Life Circle Elder Care and more, run few home-based care programs primarily in urban areas where paid attenders are available to support home-based care.
