Disability support work refers to support services that increase independence and well-being for those living with a disability. For example, assistance with showering, shopping, household chores and exercise.
You and your loved ones decide the support services you will receive based on your needs and NDIS funding. We are able to assist you to live independently, we can provide in-home care or support in the community.
At Myxa, our team have extensive experience working with people who have disabilities, their families and support coordinators including individuals who have ‘complex’ and specialised care needs. We believe that ‘complexity’ is misguided simplicity. Our team breaks down complex cases into their simplest form to ensure participants are well supported and care is tailored and personalised to every individual under Myxa.
We provide support to a large variety of those living with a disability, including:
Daily living skills, also known as activities of daily living, are essential tasks we all need to manage our everyday lives. As outlined in the NDIS guidelines from the Australian government, our experienced staff can provide support in a range of areas to assist you with these daily living skills.
Support with showering, toileting, dressing and other hygiene needs such as your brushing teeth, using deodorant and shaving.
Myxa Care staff can help with your home chores such as cleaning, washing and ironing.
We empower individuals living with a disability by helping them develop a routine, emotional resilience as well as social and communication skills. This helps you to engage appropriately in the community and improve overall well-being.
We can help you with meal planning, preparation and cooking. Our staff work with you to create the meals they like and to establish a balanced diet.
Our team strongly believe that inclusion in the community is an important part of your well-being which is why it is at the core of our services. We work with those living with a disability and their families to ensure you participate in the activities that you enjoy!
We offer a variety of services within the community and tailor this to what you want- whether that be shopping, exercise or hanging out with friends!
This could be going for a walk in your local park or participating in a team sport. Firstly, we will determine what exercise you like doing and we assist you by taking you there e.g to a yoga class, the gym or a group session.
We support you by creating shopping lists and can accompany you to do your shopping.
Having a hobby can be educational, keep you active and engaged and it is a great way to meet other people. Our team support you to partake in your current hobbies or even help you find a new hobby such as dancing or photography.
