Start with the situation, not the service.
Simple information to help you think through companionship, home help and getting started.
Start with what is happening.
Support is easier to understand when you begin with the situation rather than a service label. These guides are designed to help you recognise when a little support could make a difference.
- Spending more time alone
- Struggling with things at home
- Not sure where to start
When someone is spending too much time alone
Regular conversation, getting out, everyday activities and community support can help someone feel more connected and confident.
When things at home are becoming harder
Practical household support can take pressure off when cleaning, tidying, laundry, shopping or everyday tasks have become difficult.
You do not need all the answers
If you are worried about someone or simply think a bit of support could make life easier, start with a conversation.
Not sure where to begin?
You do not need to know the name of a service. Describe the situation and what you would like to change; we can help you understand which of our services may fit.
