Daily tasks / shared living support is NDIS help with the everyday tasks of running a home you share with other people with disability. It covers the jobs that make up a normal day, like cooking, cleaning and personal care, so the household runs smoothly and everyone gets the right support. At Serene Disability Support, we’re a registered NDIS provider, and our shared living support is overseen by a nurse-led team.
What shared living support covers
Every home is different, so we build support around the people who live there and the routines they already have. Depending on your NDIS plan, our support workers can help with:
- Household tasks, like cleaning, laundry, putting the bins out and keeping shared spaces tidy
- Meal preparation, from planning the week’s meals to shopping and cooking together
- Personal care and hygiene, done respectfully and at a pace that suits you
- Daily routine, like getting up, getting ready and getting to bed at the times you choose
- Medication prompts, with clinical oversight from our registered nurse
- Appointments and outings, whether that’s the GP, the shops or catching up with friends
Building life skills and independence
Shared living isn’t only about getting jobs done for you. Where you’d like to, we help you build the life skills to do more yourself, whether that’s cooking a favourite meal, managing a budget or keeping your room in order. Small wins add up to greater independence and more confidence at home.
If skill development is a big goal for you, we can pair shared living with daily living and life skills support, so you’ve got time set aside to practise.
A safe and comfortable living environment
Living with housemates works best when everyone feels at home. Our support workers help keep the living environment safe and comfortable, look out for each person’s wellbeing, and help sort out the small things before they become big ones. We respect your autonomy, your privacy and your right to make choices about your own life.
Because our care is nurse-led, people with health needs can be supported at home with the right training and oversight. If you need more clinical support, we can add community nursing care.
How NDIS funding works for shared living
Assistance with daily life in a shared living arrangement is usually funded from the core supports budget in your NDIS plan. The amount of support depends on your needs and how support is shared across the household. Your support coordinator or planner can help you check what’s in your plan and whether it covers the support you need.
