Support at Home Classification 1 refers to a basic or introductory level of home care assistance. It is intended for people with low-level needs, meaning they do not require intensive medical care or around-the-clock supervision, but may struggle with certain day-to-day tasks.

Home care allows individuals to remain in familiar surroundings while receiving assistance tailored to their needs. Staying at home supports both physical and emotional wellbeing, reduces stress associated with relocation, and helps maintain a sense of independence.
