Why daily living support matters
Daily living support can make a major difference to a participant's independence, confidence and quality of life. This support helps with personal care, meal preparation, managing routines and other everyday activities that may feel overwhelming or difficult to do alone.

- ✓Personal care assistance (showering, dressing, grooming)
- ✓Meal planning and preparation
- ✓Support with daily routines and household tasks
- ✓Assistance with maintaining independence at home
Who may be able to access daily living support
Eligibility depends on the participant's plan and the type of support included in their funding. Daily living support often sits within core supports and can be tailored to the participant's specific needs and goals. The best approach is to review the plan and speak with a provider who can explain what may be possible.
What good daily living support feels like
Good daily living support should feel respectful, person-centered and empowering. It should help participants maintain dignity and control while building confidence in managing their own routines. Support workers should listen, adapt and work at the participant's pace.
