Bathing, dressing and toileting
Helping you move around or get in and out of bed safely
Heating and serving meals
Providing a break for your caregiver
Helping you take your medication
Examples of services that home support does not provide include:
Extensive cleaning and cooking
Banking, handling your money, and financial transactions
Errands, personal shopping, and driving to appointments
Yard work, home maintenance
Companionship, child care, and pet care
