Living with a disability can make some everyday activities more difficult to manage independently. Tasks such as personal care, meal preparation, household routines and moving around the home may require additional assistance depending on a person’s individual needs.
NDIS Home Care Westmead refers to home-based support that can help eligible NDIS participants manage everyday activities, maintain routines and work towards greater independence at home. The type and amount of support available depends on the participant’s individual needs, goals, funding and applicable NDIS requirements.
At AD Healthcare, we recognise that every participant has different needs, preferences and goals. Our approach is to provide respectful, personalised support that encourages choice, participation and independence in everyday life.
How Does NDIS Home Care Help You Live Safely?
1. Support With Personal Care
It is possible that a person needs help with certain aspects of personal care such as showering, getting dressed, grooming, toileting or any other aspect of personal care. With NDIS Home Care Westmead, it is possible to have support tailored to individual needs and lifestyles.
2. Help With Everyday Household Tasks
Looking after a home can be hard when you have problems with movement or strength or coordination or energy levels. Depending on what supports you need, home care support can help you with cleaning, laundry, cooking, plus other household duties. The NDIS sees help around the house as a reasonable support for people with disabilities who can’t manage these activities because of their disability.
3. Help You Follow a Daily Routine
A normal routine can make it much easier to live in daily life. Some participants will benefit from disability support and assistance with daily routines such as meal preparation, personal care, attending appointments, managing their home and other household duties. With the NDIS home care Westmead can help you to set up a routine which is appropriate to your circumstances.
4. Encourage Greater Independence
Home care isn’t just about getting help with things. It can be a way for you to learn new skills. A support worker can teach you how to cook a simple meal, help you to learn how to look after your personal belongings, do simple housework or establish a routine.
It may help participants build their capacity to live independently, including developing living and household management skills.
5. Support Safe Movement Around Your Home
Home care workers can provide appropriate assistance with daily activities and movement, based on the support included in your plan. In some situations, the NDIS may also fund home modifications where they are related to disability support needs.
The aim is to help you use your home in a way that supports your safety and independence.
