Assistance with Daily Life
Sometimes we need some help with things we do on a daily basis. Assistance with Daily Life covers supports that help you do daily personal activities, so you can live as autonomously as possible. This can take place in your home, out in the community or a mix of both, depending on your needs! These supports are important in helping you maintain a happy and healthy lifestyle.

Hospital discharge
