Working closely to your needs, our staff can assist with many areas of your life, including socialising and meeting new people, holidays, and helping you take part in your hobbies and interests.
Disabilities and Group Home
We have a range of homes in our communities, and shared accommodation can be funded under the NDIS, which would see you living with people who have similar personalities and needs as yourself, and are supported daily by our highly trained staff members. As all individuals are unique the NDIS has 3 levels of support on offer.
- Lower needs – this isn’t usually 24/7 and includes supervision of living arrangements
- Standard needs – 24/7 support, which includes assistance and supervision on most daily tasks, and support workers staying overnight.
