Assistance with Daily Living
Assistance with daily living refers to the personal care supports that are funded through the NDIS to support NDIS participants within their home. In order to receive assistance with daily living, the following criteria must be satisfied:
- The personal support being considered should maximise your independence and functional skills
- The support should help you to meet your goals, objectives and aspirations
- The support is appropriate to your age and circumstances
- A consideration of whether less intrusive alternative options are available or not.
At Hikma House, we understand that people living with disabilities may have unique needs that require extra support to complete. Completing these daily living tasks can mean so much to someone living with a disability and we would love to be apart of this journey.
Let’s take a look at what’s include with daily living assistance from an NDIS service provider.
What's Included in Assistance with Daily Living
Personal daily activities focus on the personal care supports you need to help you live as independently as possible. These may include:
- Personal hygiene such as bathing and oral hygiene
- Cooking and meal preparation
- Cleaning
- Attending appointments
- Household chores
- Budgeting
- Grooming
- And much more!
Regardless of whether you live alone, with your family or you’re on holidays away from home, assistance with daily living will be an option that you can always rely on through the NDIS.
High Levels of Personal Care Support
If you require funding for higher levels of personal care support, the NDIS will make the following considerations:
- Your level of high care needs
- Your current weights (and other physical aspects)
- Your medical condition and any required medication
- Whether the need of a high-level support is temporary or permanent
If you’d like to learn more about funding for higher levels of personal care, we provide flexible support for complex care dependent on your goals and unique support plan. You can also visit the NDIS personal care supports to learn more.
