What Is Domestic Assistance Under Support at Home?
How Domestic Assistance Helps Older Australians at Home
Domestic assistance is practical household support designed to help older Australians manage everyday activities and continue living independently in their own homes.
For some older people, routine tasks such as vacuuming, mopping, carrying laundry, changing bed linen or shopping can become physically demanding. Domestic assistance aged care provides an extra helping hand with these activities without unnecessarily taking control of tasks the person can still manage independently.
At My Help Services, domestic assistance is organised around your:
Assessed needs
Approved Support at Home services
Personal preferences
Household routine
Individual circumstances
Agreed service arrangements
The objective is to provide the right amount of domestic assistance while respecting your home, privacy, dignity and independence.
