What is In-Home Support
Overview
In-home support is assistance provided to people with disability in their own home to help them live independently and participate in daily activities.
What In-Home Support may include
- Personal care assistance such as showering, dressing, and grooming
- Household tasks including cleaning, laundry, and meal preparation
- Support with taking medication safely and on time
- Assistance with community access and social activities
- Help with managing daily routines and developing life skills
- Companion support and social interaction
How In-Home Support helps
In-home support enables people with disability to maintain their independence and stay in their own home rather than moving to residential care. It provides the right level of assistance while encouraging self-reliance and building confidence in daily living skills.
Connection to broader support services
In-home support often works alongside other disability services to provide comprehensive care. Support workers may coordinate with allied health professionals, transport services, and day programs to ensure all aspects of a person’s wellbeing are addressed in a coordinated way.
