Daily Living Assistance can be used for support with personal and household routines. Depending on a participant’s plan and needs, this might include help with personal care (such as showering, dressing, grooming, mealtime support, or toileting), help with domestic tasks that relate directly to daily living (such as basic meal preparation, laundry, or maintaining a clean and safe environment), and support to complete everyday community activities (such as attending appointments or shopping where a participant cannot do so safely alone).

Daily living skills are the practical routines that help someone get through the day with safety and confidence. They include things like personal care, preparing food, moving around the community, communicating needs, or managing energy and time.

Day programs are structured supports offered either in-centre (at a facility) or in-the-community (outings, activities) that help adults with disability build skills, connect socially, access community and enhance their wellbeing.
