More Room to Live, with High Physical Support
- 19 Ridd Drive is a single-storey home in Seymour, built to the High Physical Support design category for three participants, with bariatric accessibility in mind.
- Each of the three extra-large participant bedrooms has a private open ensuite and its own courtyard, giving residents more personal space while staying close to the shared living areas.
- An onsite overnight assistance (OOA) room with a separate bathroom gives support staff a place to stay when overnight assistance is needed.
A Place to Gather and Unwind
- The open-plan family and dining area connects to the kitchen, a comfortable place for meals, conversation and everyday activities.
- A separate living or therapy room offers a quieter space to relax, follow personal interests or spend time with support staff, so different activities can happen at the same time.
Personal Space That Feels Like Home
- The extra-large bedrooms leave room for furniture, mobility equipment and assistance from support workers.
- Every bedroom has its own private open ensuite, so participants don't share bathrooms for daily personal care.
- Each bedroom opens onto a private courtyard, a personal outdoor space for fresh air and quiet time.
An Accessible Kitchen
- The kitchen sits alongside the dining and family areas, so participants can take part in preparing meals and everyday household routines.
- It has an adjustable 2.4-metre benchtop for different working heights and mobility needs, and an induction cooktop.
A Dedicated Space for Overnight Assistance
- The OOA room is near the front entrance, away from the participant bedrooms, with its own bathroom, so staff don't need to use residents' ensuites.
Outdoor Comfort and Everyday Convenience
- The attached double garage includes the laundry, keeping household tasks away from the living areas, and a front porch leads into the home.
Built Around Greater Mobility Needs
- Automated blinds throughout the home help participants manage their surroundings with less physical effort.
- A fire sprinkler system adds a layer of fire safety, and the home has a high energy-efficiency rating. Pets are allowed.
