Daily Tasks / Shared Living

Moving into a shared unit in Reservoir was exciting but overwhelming. I struggled with cleaning, laundry and agreeing on routines with my housemate. Infinite Ability Home Care set up Daily Tasks / Shared Living support so a worker visited several times a week. They showed us simple systems for rosters, budgeting and kitchen organisation. Now the flat feels manageable, and I feel proud, not embarrassed, of our home.

Our son has an NDIS plan and recently moved from the family home into a shared house in Melbourne’s north. Daily Tasks / Shared Living support from Infinite Ability has been crucial. Staff patiently practised cooking, bin night, bathroom cleaning and bedroom organisation with him. They also helped the housemates talk through issues calmly. He is more confident and phones us with wins instead of worries.

I had support before, but nobody focused on teaching me how to share a home properly. With Infinite Ability’s Daily Tasks / Shared Living service, the support workers coach me, not just clean up after me. We practise meal planning, splitting bills and tidying shared spaces. I understand my responsibilities in the house now and feel like a respectful, equal housemate rather than a guest.

As a support coordinator, I referred a participant who had frequent conflicts over chores in his NDIS shared home. Infinite Ability Home Care’s approach to Daily Tasks / Shared Living has been very effective. They introduced visual schedules, simple checklists and regular house meetings. The participant reports fewer arguments, a cleaner home and more predictable routines, which has also reduced his anxiety and behaviours of concern.

English is not my first language, and I was nervous about living with new housemates in Melbourne. Infinite Ability matched me with a worker who understands my culture and explains Daily Tasks / Shared Living expectations clearly. We practise cooking together, talk about sharing food, and plan cleaning days. I feel respected, included in decisions and more settled in my NDIS shared accommodation.

My daughter lives in a host-family arrangement and needed extra help learning everyday living skills. The Daily Tasks / Shared Living support from Infinite Ability has filled that gap. Workers gently prompt her to do her own laundry, make simple meals and keep her room organised instead of doing everything for her. Her independence has grown, and the host family feel better supported too.

I work irregular hours and used to come home to a chaotic share house. Since starting NDIS Daily Tasks / Shared Living support with Infinite Ability, our home feels calmer. The worker helped us design routines that fit everyone’s schedule, created a fridge planner and taught us how to raise problems respectfully. I am less stressed, sleep better and actually enjoy spending time at home now.

We moved our brother into a new group home in Melbourne and worried he would become isolated. The Daily Tasks / Shared Living support team focused first on building his confidence in the kitchen and common areas so he would spend more time with housemates. Now he helps cook shared meals, reminds others of roster days and takes pride in contributing to the household.
