What your day will look like

A typical day may involve supporting someone with personal care, medication management, communication, and dietary needs. You may accompany them on shopping trips, attend music and art classes, meet friends, and help build their confidence and self-esteem. The people we support enjoy a wide range of activities, including swimming, digital art, recycling, and shopping.
