From Shared Living to Solo Living: Accommodation Options under the NDIS

From Shared Living to Solo Living: Accommodation Options under the NDIS individuals with disabilities have the flexibility to choose

Under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), individuals with disabilities have the flexibility to choose from a range of accommodation options that suit their preferences and needs. One of the key benefits of the NDIS is the ability to access a diverse range of accommodation support services.

Here are some of the options available under the NDIS:

  • Shared living: This is where individuals with disabilities live with other people who also receive disability support. Shared living arrangements can be either staffed or non-staffed, depending on the needs of the individuals.
  • Supported independent living: This type of accommodation support provides individuals with the opportunity to live in their own home while receiving assistance with daily tasks, such as cooking, cleaning, and personal care.
  • Specialist disability accommodation: This is a type of accommodation specifically designed for people with complex needs who require a high level of support. Specialist disability accommodation is fully accessible and includes features such as hoists, wheelchair ramps, and other assistive technology.
  • Transitional accommodation: This is a short-term accommodation option for individuals who are transitioning from one living arrangement to another.

At Blossom Community Care, we work with individuals to identify their accommodation preferences and needs, and provide tailored support to help them achieve their goals. Our team of experienced support workers are committed to breaking down barriers and ensuring that people with disabilities have access to safe, comfortable and supportive accommodation options.
