Daily Living Assistance
Shujaa Health Services is at the heart of our Community Living Arrangement services. It focuses on helping individuals with mental and physical challenges build independence, maintain dignity, and experience a meaningful quality of life within their residential setting. This service ensures that every person receives personalized, consistent support with the everyday tasks that make life comfortable, safe, and fulfilling.
Our approach to daily living assistance goes beyond routine help — it’s about empowering individuals to do as much as they can on their own while providing the guidance, tools, and encouragement they need to succeed. Each resident’s plan of care is developed through a collaborative process that includes the individual, family members, and professional support staff. Together, we identify specific goals and preferences, tailoring services to meet both functional abilities and personal choices.
Support under this service covers a wide range of essential daily activities, including bathing, dressing, grooming, oral hygiene, toileting, and personal cleanliness. Staff are trained to provide assistance respectfully and patiently, ensuring that residents feel comfortable and valued throughout the process. For individuals with mobility challenges, caregivers assist with safe transfers, walking, and the use of adaptive equipment to promote comfort and prevent injury.
Meal preparation and nutrition management are also key aspects of daily living support. Residents receive help in planning balanced meals, grocery shopping, and learning simple cooking skills according to their dietary needs and preferences. Mealtime is viewed not only as a health necessity but also as an opportunity for social engagement and enjoyment. Staff ensure meals are prepared in sanitary conditions and that residents have access to nourishing food that contributes to their overall well-being.
Household management tasks such as cleaning, laundry, and organizing personal spaces are part of this program as well. Our goal is to maintain a clean, safe, and home-like environment where residents feel proud and comfortable. Whenever possible, individuals are encouraged to participate in these routines — promoting responsibility, building confidence, and fostering a sense of ownership in their living space.
Daily living assistance also extends to time management, personal scheduling, and participation in community activities. Staff help residents set daily routines, remind them of appointments, and accompany them on outings or social programs. This structure promotes consistency and stability, which are particularly beneficial for individuals with behavioral or cognitive challenges.
Importantly, this service emphasizes dignity, privacy, and respect. Every resident’s right to make choices — from what to wear to how their day is structured — is honored. Staff are trained to listen, observe, and adapt support to each person’s changing needs, encouraging self-expression and autonomy at every opportunity.
Through compassionate assistance and professional care, our Daily Living Assistance program empowers individuals to live as independently as possible. It builds confidence, fosters life skills, and ensures each day is filled with purpose, comfort, and meaningful engagement.
