Support at Home
In-home Support
Yumaro provides support to NDIS participants in the home up to 7 days per week.
Our domestic support involves a Yumaro care team member visiting your home and assisting you with various tasks that you may not be able to complete by yourself.
Our Disability Support Workers are here to help you with daily activities such as shopping, meal preparation, personal care, moving around safely, transfers, tidying up, vacuuming, or mopping the floors and other supports as required.
This support will help you to work towards achieving your goals of remaining independent in your own home and ensure that you are supported to live safely. We can also help you to access the shops for essential items or get into town to enjoy community life, see Community Access below.
