Assistance with personal activities, meals and overnight support
Assistance with personal activities is practical help with the daily tasks that keep life running, like planning meals, cooking and taking medication on time. It can also include support overnight.
What it is
Meal preparation: we can plan meals with you, write the shopping list, shop and cook. Or we can cook together so you build your confidence in the kitchen. We follow any diet or allergy needs.
Daily tasks: reminders to take medication, help with morning and evening routines and keeping track of the day.
Overnight support: a support worker stays the night. This can be a sleepover shift, where they sleep and get up if you need them, or an active overnight shift, where they stay awake.

Questions people ask
What is the difference between a sleepover and active overnight support?
In a sleepover shift the worker can sleep and gets up if you need help. In an active overnight shift the worker stays awake all night. Which one you need depends on how often you need help at night.
Can you cook for a special diet?
Yes. Tell us about allergies, cultural food needs or any diet from your doctor or dietitian and we will follow it.
Can you teach me to cook?
If you would like to learn, we can cook together and build your skills one meal at a time.
