Annotation	Domiciliary workers act as agents of independence, enabling older and disabled people to stay at home: but they have to put up with low pay. The author joins a domiciliary worker for a Monday morning shift and observes the stresses and strains of the work at first hand. The home care worker is with a private care provider (Enara Community Care) working within the London Borough of Islington, one of seven agencies it uses. (KJ/RH).
