Support With Everyday Life, Built Around You
Experienced Support. Genuine Connection. Your Life, Your Way.
Everyday life can involve many different tasks and routines.
Sometimes you can manage everything independently. Sometimes you need a little assistance. And sometimes having the right person alongside you can make everyday activities feel more manageable.
I'm Samuel, an independent support worker with more than 9 years of experience.
Through Samuel G Support, I provide personalised daily living support designed around your individual needs, routines, preferences and circumstances.
What Is Daily Living Support?
Daily living support involves assistance with appropriate everyday activities and routines — sometimes referred to in NDIS plans as assistance with daily life.
The type of support someone needs can be different from person to person. It may involve assistance with household routines, meal preparation, shopping, appointments, community participation, organising everyday activities or maintaining social connections.
The goal is not to take over. The goal is to provide the right support while helping you maintain your independence and participate in your everyday life.
Support With Everyday Activities
Depending on your circumstances and support needs, daily living support may include:
- Everyday household activities
- Light household assistance
- Meal preparation
- Shopping
- Grocery assistance
- Running appropriate errands
- Assistance with appointments
- Community participation
- Social activities
- Hobbies and recreational activities
- Maintaining everyday routines
- Companionship
- Assistance preparing for outings
- Support with organising appropriate daily activities
The specific support available will depend on your individual circumstances and the services I am able to provide.
Support That Fits Your Routine
Your routine belongs to you. That's why I don't believe daily living support should be about forcing you into someone else's schedule or doing things unnecessarily for you. Instead, support should work around your life as much as reasonably possible. We can discuss:
Supporting Independence
Independence doesn't necessarily mean doing everything alone. Sometimes independence means having the right support to participate in something yourself. For example, you might:
The right approach depends on the individual. Where appropriate, I aim to support participation and independence rather than automatically taking over.
Daily Living Support at Home
Your home is often where many everyday routines happen. Depending on your circumstances, support may include:
- Meal preparation
- Light household assistance
- Grocery organisation
- Everyday routines
- Preparing for outings
- Organising appropriate activities
- Companionship
- Assistance with everyday tasks
Support is designed around what you need rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
Daily Living Support in the Community
Daily living doesn't stop when you leave home. Everyday activities can include:
- Shopping
- Appointments
- Community activities
- Social activities
- Hobbies
- Recreational activities
- Getting out and about
- Visiting local places
- Running appropriate errands
Community participation can be an important part of maintaining independence and staying connected.
Practical Support With Everyday Routines
Small everyday tasks can sometimes become difficult when you're managing them alone. Additional support may help you:

More Than Completing Tasks
Daily living support isn't simply about getting a list of tasks completed. It's about helping you live your everyday life in a way that works for you.
That may mean getting ready for the day, preparing something to eat, going shopping, attending an appointment, getting out into the community, spending time on a hobby, meeting someone for coffee, maintaining a familiar routine, or simply having someone reliable there when you need additional support.
Your everyday life matters.
