Keeping a home in order can involve many separate tasks, each taking time and energy. You may want help with a regular cleaning routine, an outdoor area or particular jobs that have become difficult to manage.
Makodah Care offers household task support, including cleaning and yard tasks. The arrangement begins with what needs doing, how you want it done and the work that can appropriately be included. Your home, belongings and preferences guide the conversation.
Our lived experience model keeps your control of your home in view. How belongings are handled, what stays where and which tasks you want to do yourself deserve discussion. We agree the help with you and respect the way you use your space.
Agree a practical task list
A clear list helps everyone understand the purpose of a visit. You might want to discuss floors, kitchen surfaces, bathrooms, laundry or agreed routine yard work. Tell us which areas matter most and whether the priorities change across the week.
The actual tasks, time and frequency are agreed after considering your needs and the work involved. Specialist cleaning, repairs, building work, tree work and other tasks requiring particular equipment or qualifications should not be assumed to form part of an ordinary household support arrangement.
Respect the way you use your home
Household support needs to fit the people who live there. Share preferences about cleaning products, where items belong, spaces you consider private and whether you would like to be involved in a task. Let us know about pets, access arrangements or equipment that affects the work.
Some people want assistance while they take part. Others want a worker to complete agreed tasks so their own time and energy can go elsewhere. Discuss the balance that suits you rather than assuming one approach will fit every visit.
Make the arrangement clear
Before starting, it is useful to establish who supplies products and equipment, how priorities are communicated and what happens if a task cannot be completed as planned. These details help avoid uncertainty about what has been agreed.
Our intake includes a pre-risk assessment and a meet and greet. Participants meet their support workers before supports begin. The service agreement and support plan record the arrangement, with regular reviews to discuss whether the task list or routine needs to change.
