- The kitchen, meals and living area
- The laundry, which opens into the garage
- The garage
- The onsite overnight assistance (OOA) room, used by support staff, with its own ensuite
Connected, Calm and Easy to Use
- The open-plan kitchen, dining and living area sits at the centre of the home and provides participants with a single shared space that feels simple, comfortable and easy to understand.
- The layout makes everyday movement, shared meals and support feel natural.
- This central zone links the kitchen, entry and participant bedroom areas in a way that supports predictability, reduces crowding and makes the home easier to move through.
- It is comfortable and homely, and still gives support workers room to assist respectfully when required.
Personal Space with Support in Reach
- Both participant bedrooms are intended to provide a proper private retreat within the home.
- Each one connects to its own ensuite, helping support privacy, dignity and routine in daily life.
The bedrooms include practical features that matter in daily use: robe storage, clear circulation space, future-ready support planning.
- The inclusion of future hoist provisions between participant bedrooms and ensuites also helps the home respond to changing mobility needs over time.
Daily Care with More Control
- A major strength of this home is that each participant has their own private ensuite.
- In a shared SDA setting, this reduces pressure around shared bathroom use and supports greater control over personal care routines.
The ensuites are designed with accessible circulation, hobless shower provisions, reinforced walls, a practical wet-area design that supports safer, more dignified day-to-day care.
Practical Flow for Real Routines
- The kitchen is positioned directly within the shared living zone, making it easier for participants to stay involved in everyday household routines such as meals, conversation and time with visitors.
- The kitchen supports accessible daily use, including a height-adjustable benchtop, an accessible pantry, and a practical flow that enables participants with mobility needs to engage more easily in the space.
Response Nearby, Privacy Preserved
- The dedicated OOA room gives support teams a clear base within the home while still keeping participant spaces personal and protected.
- That separation matters: support stays close, but the home still feels like the participant's home first.
- SIL providers will find this makes overnight response and daily operations easier.
- For participants, it means support can remain nearby without taking over the shared living environment.
A Simple Place to Step Outside
The home includes private outdoor space and a secure backyard, providing participants with a simple area for fresh air, downtime, regulation without leaving the property.
- There is undercover access from the parking to the home.
Built for Confidence from Day One
- This home is best positioned as a property that balances High Physical Support functionality with day-to-day comfort.
Features include ramp access, wide doorframes, wide pathways, air conditioning, shared living, shared kitchen, shared laundry, built-in robes, private ensuites.
- The focus here is not just compliance language. It is the combination of privacy, support-readiness, clear movement and a calm residential layout that makes the home work better in real daily life.
