in-home

Within one's dwelling

In-home describes services or activities that take place in someone's residence rather than at a business, institution, or other facility: in-home care for the elderly, in-home tutoring, in-home consultation.

The term emphasizes convenience or necessity—bringing professionals to where people live rather than requiring travel.
