When aging, illness, disability, or an injury makes some daily routines harder to manage independently, individuals may need additional support at home. This type of assistance is intended for people who need help with personal care and everyday activities while continuing to live in their own homes. In communities such as Willmar, support may be provided in the person’s home based on the areas where assistance is needed and the individual’s circumstances. The focus is on providing practical help while respecting the person’s routines, preferences, and level of independence.
How It Works
Support may include assistance with everyday personal and household routines, such as:
Assistance with bathing, grooming, and personal hygiene
Help with dressing and other personal care routines
Support with mobility and positioning
Assistance with eating and other daily routines
Help with activities of daily living
Respectful support based on individual needs and preferences
What to Expect
The individual receives assistance with the daily routines that require support while remaining in their home environment. The amount and type of assistance can vary according to the person’s circumstances and the activities they need help completing. As needs change, the support provided may be adjusted to reflect the individual’s current circumstances and level of independence.
Take the Next Step in Care
If daily routines have become more difficult to manage independently, reach out to discuss the type of support that may be appropriate. Understanding your circumstances can help clarify what assistance may fit your needs at home.
