People with disabilities have different preferences and support needs. Good everyday assistance starts by listening to the person and letting them guide what kind of companionship may be useful.

What may help day to day

Depending on an individual agreement, non-medical support may include companionship, accompaniment for errands or walks, and light practical help. What matters is what the person wants and which tasks fall within the agreed service.

Discuss access and communication

Before a first visit, it can help to discuss accessible routes, preferred communication, mobility aids and any particular safety or timing needs. The person receiving support should guide these decisions as far as possible.

Respect self-determination

Support should make choices easier, not take them over. Family members or trusted people can be involved if the person wants that. Clear agreements should be understandable and guided by the person’s own goals.

Be transparent about limits

AlltagsNah offers practical everyday companionship, not medical treatment, nursing or therapy. Whether a specific request fits the service is discussed in advance; specialist or medical needs require an appropriate professional service.
