Basic Support offers essential day-to-day assistance for adults who can complete many tasks independently but benefit from regular help. It focuses on consistency, routines, and gentle prompts.

- Personal care: grooming, dressing, hygiene, and bathing
- Daily routines: meal prep, light housekeeping, laundry, and organization
- Reminders: medication timing, appointments, hydration, and rest breaks
- Community access: rides or accompaniment to activities and errands
- Safety checks: home walkthroughs, fall-prevention habits, and simple adaptations
Intensive Support provides a higher level of hands-on assistance for adults with more complex routines, safety risks, or frequent help needs. It emphasizes close monitoring, problem-solving, and rapid response.
Typical needs covered:
- Frequent or extended personal care and mobility assistance
- Continuous cueing or step-by-step task support
- Close safety supervision, including overnight or multiple daily visits
- Behavior and routine stabilization strategies were agreed upon with the care team
