“Care” (as distinct from “support” or “supervision”) includes:

• Helping a physically disabled person to get out of bed, wash, dress, use a toilet or eat meals
• Guiding and assisting a person with a learning disability as they go about tasks that would be relatively simple for a person without such a disability: buying food, preparing food etc
• Carrying out tasks on behalf of a disabled person because they do not have the physical or mental capacity to do those things at all, not even with supervision: dealing with correspondence, arranging appointments etc
