When managing personal routines and household responsibilities becomes difficult because of a disability, illness, limited mobility, or age-related changes, assistance at home can address these everyday needs. This support may be useful for children and adults who need help with daily activities, as well as seniors who find certain tasks increasingly challenging. In Dakota County and other communities served across Minnesota, the type of assistance depends on the individual’s circumstances and the tasks they need help completing.
How It Works
Support may include assistance with personal routines and household tasks, depending on the services provided:
Personal Care Assistance: Help with bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, and other personal hygiene routines.
Mobility Assistance: Support with moving around the home and performing daily activities, as appropriate to the person’s needs.
Homemaking: Help with routine household tasks, such as laundry, dishwashing, tidying, and cleaning commonly used areas.
Daily Routine Support: Assistance with everyday tasks that have become difficult to manage independently.
Household Organization: Help keeping frequently used household items and living areas organized for daily use.
What to Expect
The type of assistance depends on the person’s needs and the specific services arranged. Support may focus on personal routines, household tasks, or a combination of both, with the individual participating in tasks to the extent they can. Before services begin, families should clarify which tasks are included, how assistance will be provided, and whether any requested activities fall outside the service scope.
