High Physical Support SDA Home | 3 Participant + OOA

A Spacious, Purpose-Built High Physical Support Home

22 Cook Road, Melton South is a purpose-built Specialist Disability Accommodation home designed under the High Physical Support category. This single-storey residence has been carefully planned to support participants with higher physical needs while still feeling comfortable, practical, and easy to live in.

The home is designed for three participants, with a dedicated Onsite Overnight Assistance (OOA) room, ensuring support is always nearby when required while still allowing participants to maintain independence and privacy.

Every element of the home has been designed in line with SDA standards, including step-free access, accessible bathrooms, assistive technology readiness, and structural provision for ceiling hoists. Emergency power and reliable connectivity are also included to support safety and day-to-day living.

The Heart of the Home

Open, Welcoming and Easy to Move Through

At the centre of the home is a large open-plan family, meals, and kitchen area that brings everything together in a natural and functional way. The generous proportions of this space allow for easy movement, including wheelchair access, while still feeling warm and inviting.

The kitchen connects seamlessly with the living and dining areas, making it easier for participants to stay involved in everyday routines such as preparing meals or spending time with others. The layout supports clear pathways and comfortable circulation, reducing congestion and making the space easy to navigate.

Lighting, power points, and controls are positioned consistently throughout the home, helping simplify daily routines and making the environment more intuitive to use. The result is a space that supports both independence and shared living without feeling clinical.

Participant Bedrooms

Private, Comfortable and Truly Personal Spaces

The home includes three participant bedrooms, each designed to provide a balance of privacy, comfort, and functionality. The bedrooms are generously sized to allow for assistive equipment where required, while still feeling like personal spaces rather than adapted rooms.

Built-in robes are provided in each bedroom, supporting storage and everyday organisation. The layout ensures that bathrooms are easily accessible from each room, with multiple ensuites positioned throughout the home to reduce sharing and support privacy.

Each participant has their own dedicated bedroom, which is an important part of maintaining independence and personal space within a shared home environment.

The bedrooms are also designed with provision for ceiling hoists and assistive technology, ensuring the home can adapt to changing needs over time.

Bathrooms and Accessibility

Safe, Spacious and Easy to Navigate

The bathrooms throughout the home are designed with accessibility as a priority while still maintaining a comfortable and private feel. Step-free showers, reinforced walls for future supports, and layouts that allow for clear movement all contribute to a safer and more usable space.

Slip-resistant flooring is provided in wet areas, and fixtures are positioned to be easily reached from seated or standing positions. The design ensures that participants can use the bathrooms with greater independence while still allowing support staff to assist when needed.

Kitchen and Living Spaces

Functional, Accessible and Easy to Use

The kitchen has been designed to support accessibility without losing the feel of a modern home. It includes accessible bench space, appropriate clearances, and easy-to-use fixtures that allow participants to engage in daily activities more comfortably.

There is ample space to move around appliances and work areas, making it easier for both participants and support staff to use the kitchen safely. The connection between the kitchen and living area also helps create a more inclusive and social environment.

Overnight On-Call (OOA) Room

Support Close By When It Matters

A dedicated OOA room is included within the home, allowing support staff to stay overnight when required. The positioning of this room ensures that support is close by without intruding on participant spaces.

This separation helps maintain privacy and independence while still providing reassurance that assistance is always available when needed.

Outdoor Area

Low-Maintenance, Safe and Enjoyable Outdoor Living

The home includes a covered porch and outdoor areas that are designed to be easy to access and simple to maintain. Step-free transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces make it easier for participants to move freely throughout the property.

Outdoor surfaces are designed with safety in mind, supporting a comfortable and low-maintenance environment that can be enjoyed without added complexity.

Accessibility and Everyday Comfort

Purpose-Built for Accessibility from the Start

This home has been designed from the beginning to meet High Physical Support requirements, not adapted later. This makes a noticeable difference in how the home feels and functions day to day.

Wide doorways, step-free pathways, and consistent layouts throughout the home help create an environment that is easier to navigate. The inclusion of assistive technology readiness, emergency power solutions, and high-speed internet ensures the home is prepared for both current and future needs.
