Assistance with Daily Personal Activities

At KoalaKare, our NDIS support workers are here to assist participants with their daily personal activities. Being able to take care of yourself is a primary goal when living independently with a disability. We are here to help with personal activities around and outside of your home. At KoalaKare, we want our participants to have a safe home environment and be engaged in their community. Our around-the-clock care ensures our participants are receiving assistance any time they need it.

Improved Daily Living Support

Our NDIS workers help supervise or assist with the participant’s day-to-day activities. The amount of support given is determined by the participant’s needs and goals. We help with daily activities such as:

Cleaning

Mealtime Prep

Showering

Brushing your teeth

Overnight assistance

Medication-follow up

Yard Maintenance

Traveling to appointments or community events

We believe everyone should be entitled to a clean, safe home environment. The same goes for your personal care. We are here to help you achieve this. When a home is organized and free of clutter, you enjoy the comforts of your own space without feeling stressed or worried. When you feel refreshed and look your best, your attitude changes for the better.

Our support workers are trained to handle any level of disability activity assistance with a positive, kind attitude. Each of our participants has a unique set of needs, but we always have patience and treat them with respect. From helping you bathe and brush your hair to escorting you to the public library, our support workers will look after your personal well-being.

Improved Daily Living Funding with Your NDIS Plan

Support funding may be distributed into three categories depending on the level of disability activity assistance needed for you. Your plan for funding may be seen in core support, capacity building, and capital support.

Core support workers assist with daily personal activities, needs from your disability, and help achieve your goals. This category only provides support funding for daily activities, low-cost modifications, community participation, and transport.

In contrast, capacity-building supports help build your skills and increase your independence to achieve the goals listed in your plan. Funding is not able to be spread across the different support activities. Individual supports must be approved to be included in your plan’s funding. Some of the funding categories under capacity-building include:

Finding living arrangements

Health and wellbeing

Employment

Assistance with daily personal activities

Capital supports are for those needing higher-cost home modifications, assistive technology, and vehicle modification funding. The categories included in this plan are assistive technology and home modifications. The funding for this support cannot be used to pay for methods of assistance offered by KoalaKare. Contact your support coordinator for more information.

Different Living Options for Participants

Depending on the participant’s plan, assistance may be offered to help with daily life in a variety of living situations. The NDIS includes funding for short-term and medium-term accommodation. Short-term accommodation is when the participant is away from their usual dwelling like a vacation. This support funding only lasts for up to two weeks. Medium-term accommodation is when participants are in the process of getting a permanent place of residence. The support funding lasts up to 90 days. Other living options include living on your own or sharing a residence with other participants. Any support you receive may be shared with other participants living with you at your discretion.

Around-the-Clock Care Disabilities Activities Assistance

We understand some participants need care not only in the morning and afternoon but also during the night. Our support workers provide active overnight assistance or a sleepover. Active overnight assistance is when the participant needs help throughout the night. A sleepover, or inactive night support, is when a participant may or may not require care. No matter the time of day, we are ready to provide high-quality care for each of our participants.

Day and Night In-Home Care

Some participants need care throughout the day and night. Our NDIS home care providers are available for active or inactive night support. Inactive night support, or sleepover, is when a participant may not need care throughout the night, but we are there if they do need assistance. Active night support is when a participant needs constant care at night. We provide high-quality in-home care to each participant, regardless of the time.

At KoalaKare, we are focused on giving every participant high-quality assistance. We ensure each participant gets the supervision and assistance they require throughout the day. Whether it is daily activities, self-care activities, and assistance with making meals, our NDIS support workers are here to help.

Working with Families, Support Coordinators, and Allied Health Providers

At KoalaKare we work in collaboration with the participant, support coordinators, allied health service providers, and families to achieve NDIS defined goals and objectives. We work diligently to determine the right type of assistance with daily personal activities you need. Our team strives to connects participants with support workers that mesh well together.

We attempt to introduce our workers as an extension to their normal home life instead of disrupting it. We make sure to communicate with families through every step of the process. This allows us to build a trusting relationship with family members and others that care for participants. If you applied to have disability activities assistance by yourself, we work directly with you and your NDIS support coordination team.
