“I just want to be able to manage on my own.”
These were the words of Aunty Mariam, a warm-hearted woman in her early 60s living with arthritis and mild cognitive impairment. She wasn’t asking for someone to do everything for her—she simply wanted a bit of support with everyday tasks so she could continue living in the home she loved.
At Best Special Care Services, our support with household tasks is about more than cleanliness—it’s about dignity, confidence, and preserving independence.
The Emotional Weight of Household Tasks
Household chores can seem simple—sweeping, doing the dishes, folding laundry—but for people living with disability or chronic illness, even small tasks can be physically or mentally exhausting. Add to that the emotional impact of watching your once-manageable home fall out of order, and the result is often frustration, stress, or a sense of failure.
That’s why our goal isn’t just to clean—it’s to empower.
We help clients:
- Feel confident in their own space
- Regain a sense of control over their environment
- Build or maintain routines that enhance wellbeing
Whether it’s light support or hands-on assistance, every task we help with is one step closer to peace of mind.
Personalised, Respectful Support
We know that no two homes—or people—are the same. That’s why we work closely with each individual to understand:
- Their preferred way of doing things
- Cultural or religious preferences related to household maintenance
- What tasks they want to learn versus delegate
- Their physical and cognitive needs
This allows us to offer flexible, tailored assistance. Some of the common household tasks we support include:
- Dishwashing and surface cleaning
- Sweeping, vacuuming, and mopping
- Laundry, ironing, and bed linen changes
- Basic meal preparation
- Bathroom and kitchen sanitation
- Grocery unpacking and light organising
And because trust matters, we ensure that clients receive consistent support workers who understand their routines and build genuine rapport.
Aunty Mariam’s Story: Small Support, Big Difference
When we met Aunty Mariam, she was struggling with daily chores. Her arthritis made bending and reaching difficult, and forgetfulness often left meals uncooked and clothes piling up.
With gentle, regular visits, our support team helped her build manageable routines. We assisted with meal prep, set up labelled storage, and even turned laundry into a fun weekly activity where she’d chat about her favourite recipes.
Now, Mariam says her home feels like “hers again.” She proudly offers tea to her visiting grandkids, knowing everything is just as she likes it.
