Moderate Support Needs (Regular In-Home Assistance)
Your responses suggest you benefit from consistent assistance with daily activities and safety planning. Consider scheduled in-home disability support for personal care, meals, mobility, and/or community accompaniment.
High Support Needs (Comprehensive or Extended Care)
Your responses suggest you may require substantial day-to-day assistance and/or close supervision for safety. Consider extended-hour care plans, more frequent visits, and structured support for personal care, mobility, medications, and monitoring.
