What is a personal helper and what does the assistant do?

Personal assistance is a service where the personal assistant acts as the client’s hands and feet to carry out tasks the client would perform themselves but cannot do alone due to disability or illness. The purpose is to help the client with everyday tasks at home and outside the home. Tasks are often ordinary chores we all do in daily life. The assistant role does not include tasks requiring, for example, a practical nurse qualification; anyone can operate as an assistant. Examples include helping the client in shopping, walking, eating, cooking, dressing, hobbies or housekeeping.
