VDC services are designed to enable all individuals who require help with personal care to remain as independent as possible in their own homes, in the local community, for as long as possible.
Carers visit the customer's in their own home to support with:
Personal care tasks centered around the individual (such as washing and dressing, toileting, eating & drinking, medication) and appropriate health related tasks
Household tasks (such as cleaning, laundry, changing of bed linen, etc)
Participation in social activities/hobbies
One of the aims is to promote independence for customers, while supporting them to achieve positive outcomes in all aspects of their life.

Sometimes people you care for do not have a sense of how much they're drinking.
To help them:
make sure they drink during mealtimes
make drinking a social thing, like "having a cup of tea"
offer them food with a high water content – for example, soups, ice cream or jellies, or fruits like melon.
