The other people supported by the CLP still live at home with their families. Some have chosen this; however many only do so because the CLP doesn't have sufficient financial resources to enable them to realistically make a choice to move out.

About 20 percent of people supported by the CLP need 24 hours a day support. For these people our support includes:

• being present to offer constant guidance,
• assisting with all sorts of practical things that the person can't do for themselves (in and around home),
• help to stay healthy,
• motivation to try to do new things,
• assistance with personal care,
• the chance to learn how to do things for themselves,
• getting medical and other help when needed,
• encouragement to believe in themselves and helping others see the contribution they make,
• encouraging others to give them a chance to make a contribution, to develop relationships, to be included in the regular life of the community, to take on and retain roles that other people afford a positive status.

The majority of people being assisted by the CLP require such things as:

• help to keep spending within a budget,
• help to keep a home looking good,
• help with personal care,
• guidance and assistance to cook and/or clean,
• someone to take a real interest in them and who can help out if they are in trouble,
• reminders of important things they need to attend to,
• practical assistance to fix simple problems around their home,
• help to get out and meet new people,
• assistance to join and participate in a special interest group,
• help to nurture important relationships with both family and friends,
• encouragement to try out new things,
• assistance finding somewhere to live or someone to share with,
• an advocate who will speak out on their behalf and ensure their interests are protected,
• guidance through, and referral to, the maze of other community services where appropriate,
• extra assistance to cover for personal vulnerabilities.

The CLP works with an individual and their family to find and recruit a Support Worker whose qualities match the individual's needs.
