Creating a Personalised Home Support Plan with Allied Health
At EnableU, we believe that high-quality care starts with a plan — a personalised, well-structured approach that reflects the unique goals, strengths, and needs of every individual. Whether you're an NDIS participant or an older adult receiving a Home Care Package, your home support plan should be more than a checklist — it should be a roadmap to independence, safety, and well-being.
Our allied health professionals play a key role in building these support plans. By combining clinical expertise with a deep understanding of your lifestyle and home environment, we create strategies that support your daily routines and long-term goals.
Why a Personalised Plan Matters
No two people — or homes — are the same. A personalised home support plan takes into account:
- Your current level of ability and any changes over time
- Health conditions or disability diagnoses
- Home layout and safety considerations
- Cultural background, language, and communication style
- Personal goals such as walking unaided, cooking independently, or reducing falls
This kind of plan ensures that all services are coordinated and effective — rather than reactive or disjointed.
The Role of Allied Health in Planning
Allied health professionals such as physiotherapists and occupational therapists provide essential input into your support plan. Their responsibilities may include:
- Initial assessments to understand physical, sensory, or cognitive needs
- Home safety evaluations and recommendations for modifications or equipment
- Therapy plans to build strength, independence, and confidence
- Education for support workers and family members on how to assist safely
- Goal tracking and reporting to support NDIS reviews or aged care package updates
This clinical insight allows EnableU to deliver care that’s not only practical but evidence-based and outcome-driven.
Building the Plan: Step by Step
Here’s how EnableU creates a tailored home support plan with allied health input:
- Initial consultation: We meet with you and your family to understand your situation and preferences.
- Assessment phase: Allied health professionals conduct assessments in your home to identify needs and risks.
- Goal setting: We work together to define clear, measurable goals — from improving balance to mastering cooking skills.
- Support mapping: Based on your funding and goals, we identify services needed (e.g. physio, support worker, equipment).
- Plan delivery: The plan is implemented and regularly reviewed, adapting as your needs evolve.
Real-Life Example
Maria, age 78, Coogee: After a fall, Maria became hesitant to walk around her home. An EnableU OT assessed her space and recommended grab rails and a walking aid. A physiotherapist developed an at-home strength program. A care worker visited daily to assist with personal care. Within weeks, Maria felt more confident and reduced her fall risk significantly. Her support plan included all three professionals and adjusted monthly based on feedback.
Plans That Reflect Culture and Language
EnableU proudly supports clients from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds across the Eastern Suburbs. Our plans reflect your preferred language, cultural values, religious needs, and family dynamics. We aim to assign workers and therapists who can speak your language and understand your culture — building stronger trust and better outcomes.
For NDIS Participants
If you have NDIS funding, your personalised home support plan may include allied health services under:
- Improved Daily Living (Capacity Building)
- Improved Health and Wellbeing
- Home Modifications (Capital Supports)
We assist with therapy reports, goal updates, and collaboration with your support coordinator or plan manager to ensure funding is used effectively.
For Aged Care Recipients
EnableU is a Home Care Package provider, and we integrate allied health planning into all aged care services. Depending on your package level (1–4), we can include physiotherapy, OT, and equipment as part of your care budget. Your personalised plan is reviewed every six months or sooner if your condition changes.
