Work Specialising in Customised Daily Activities for Independence

As a dedicated Support Worker, I specialise in customising daily activities to enhance the independence of participants. By integrating and tailoring existing technology and online tools, I empower individuals to manage essential tasks such as personal care, household management, financial planning, and social engagement. My approach is focused on developing life skills that allow participants to navigate their daily routines with greater autonomy, reducing their reliance on in-person support while ensuring their safety and well-being.

Whether it’s setting up communication devices, organising online health management, or streamlining daily tasks, my services are designed to align with community goals of promoting self-sufficiency and improving the quality of life for participants.

Client Feedback. Name Withheld for Privacy.

“Living with multiple sclerosis and paraplegia. My condition has restricted the movement of my arms and legs. I find walking difficult including getting out of bed on my own.

Since the installation of a virtual assistant, I have gained more independence. While waiting for carers in the morning I am able to ask my lights to turn on, play and control music throughout the home and listen to audiobooks. I enjoy colouring in on my Samsung tablet and being able to share my colouring-in on a digital display to show my family and friends We also backed up all my pictures to the cloud allowing me to share them on my phone when I am out and about

More importantly, my support and safety have increased. I am alerted and able to see anyone at my door. Without moving from my location I can communicate to anyone at the front door and I have a recording of any motion at the door. I can unlock the door with a PIN code matched to my voice.

When coming home from appointments I can open the app and unlock the front door and turn the lights on before I get out of the car. Being able to see and not fuss around with keys and switches is a simple but important change for my personal control and independence.

Sharing editing of my calendar with my carer enables updates and changes to be made. I am able to ask the virtual assistant to tell me what I have on during the day. When I receive a call I can use the visual calendar to see my free time and spaces and then enter information using voice input. The additional mentoring I received on how to use speech to text across my devices has reduced my need for typing.”
