Support planned with you

Practical support for a home that works for you.

Household assistance may help a participant keep on top of agreed domestic tasks, prepare meals, organise everyday spaces or take part in home routines at a level that suits their capacity.

Because the support occurs in a person’s home, respect and boundaries matter. We clarify what help is wanted, what should not be touched, how tasks are prioritised and how the participant wants to be involved.

How this support is planned

The agreed household tasks, frequency, access arrangements, safety considerations and participant preferences are documented clearly. The aim is dependable help without unnecessary intrusion.

Before support begins, responsibilities, boundaries, scheduling, costs and communication arrangements should be documented clearly. Support is then reviewed when goals, needs or practical circumstances change.

Common questions

About this support.

Can household assistance include meal preparation?

Meal preparation may be discussed where it aligns with the participant’s plan, goals and agreed support arrangement. Preferences, allergies and food safety requirements must be clarified first.

Will the same tasks be completed every visit?

Tasks can be planned for consistency, but priorities may change. The participant’s direction and the agreed scope guide each visit.
