For people with disabilities, identifying the appropriate supports means getting closer to independence, dignity and a fulfilling life. Among all the NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) services available, Supported Independent Living Melbourne is a breakthrough for many participants. They can have a shared or independent home, and be supported with the daily tasks and skill development to have meaningful engagement in all aspects of their life.
Care Promise is an established disability support provider who understands how important this approach is to independent living and improving quality of life for NDIS participants. At Care Promise, we understand the value of person-centred care so that we support participants as they transition from their family homes, hospitals, or other types of accommodation. Supported Independent Living Melbourne services are empowering for people wishing to take control of their life with the needed support to be able to live well.
Short Term Accommodation: A Gateway to Long-Term Independence
Short Term Accommodation is an important step in accommodating shorter-term options to ensure we help prepare people for a long-term option such as Supported Independent Living (or simply referred to as STA). STA can provide participants with a safe and supportive space to live independently for a limited period, usually 14 days max; it can also be used as respite for family carers, emergency accommodation, temporary accommodation or transitional accommodation while participants are navigating a major life change.
Some of the key benefits of Short Term Accommodation include the ability:
- Trial Independent Living: Participants have an opportunity to gain some experience of what it will be like to live independently before committing to living independently for a more permanent arrangement.
- Skill Development: Participants will have access to support staff and can learn skills around cooking, budgeting, laundry, cleaning, and self-care.
- Building Confidence: When people are away from home, even for short periods of time, it helps build confidence in their individual abilities.
- Reducing Family Stress: Family members and/or carer can have some respite, and they know the participant is safe and supported.
Short Term Accommodation service provides the next step for participants toward securing permanent housing, such as Independent Living while reducing levels of stress and anxiety for both participants and their families.
