PERSONAL ACTIVITIES
Personal support that protects dignity, privacy and choice.
Assistance with personal activities can support everyday routines, self-care and other agreed tasks while keeping the participant involved in decisions about how support is provided. We discuss preferences, privacy, communication, timing and the level of assistance that feels appropriate before the arrangement begins.
