Assistance with Activities of Daily Living
Assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) is a fundamental aspect of care provided by Happy Healthy Care under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). ADLs encompass various tasks that individuals may require support with due to disability or limitations. Happy Healthy Care ensures personalized assistance that empowers participants to lead fulfilling lives while maintaining their independence to the fullest extent possible.
Personal Care: This includes assistance with tasks like bathing, grooming, dressing, and toileting. Happy Healthy Care ensures that these activities are carried out in a dignified and respectful manner, promoting the participant's comfort and well-being.
Mobility Support: For individuals with mobility challenges, the team at Happy Healthy Care offers support with transferring, positioning, and mobility aid usage. They focus on promoting safe movement while respecting the participant's preferences and capabilities.
Meal Preparation and Nutrition: Assistance with meal preparation, planning, and support with eating is provided based on the participant's dietary needs and preferences. This may involve helping with cooking, portioning meals, and ensuring nutritional requirements are met.
Household Tasks: Support with light household chores such as cleaning, laundry, and organizing can be provided by Happy Healthy Care. This assistance helps maintain a clean and safe living environment for participants.
Medication Management: For those requiring assistance with medication, Happy Healthy Care offers support with medication reminders and administration in accordance with prescribed guidelines.
Continence Management: Individuals who need support with continence management receive respectful and discreet assistance. Happy Healthy Care ensures that participants are comfortable and provided with necessary aids to manage their continence effectively.
Social and Community Engagement: Alongside ADL support, Happy Healthy Care encourages social inclusion by facilitating participation in community activities, helping individuals develop social skills, and fostering connections within the community.
Happy Healthy Care emphasizes a person-centered approach in delivering ADL support, respecting the participant's autonomy and preferences while offering assistance where needed. They aim to enhance the quality of life for individuals by enabling them to engage in daily activities independently to the best of their abilities.
