NDIS Respite Care and Short Term Accommodation (STA) Services in Melbourne

NDIS funding focuses on respite care and short term accommodation to relieve participants and their carers from the monotony of daily routine. NDIS recognises the importance of taking a break now and then to maintain the health of caregivers. Based on the eligibility, most NDIS plans will include funding for short term accommodation of 28 days/year and they can choose to use it in varying intervals.

Our NDIS clients can decide to spend these days over certain weekends or a 14-day break twice a year, whichever is convenient for them and their families. At Josh Care, we offer a wide range of NDIS support services to help our clients lead independent and fulfilling lives while achieving their individual goals.

Respite care is a short-term and temporary helping service that you can take advantage of when you as a carer need some time off. The person who takes care of an individual with a disability on a daily basis also deserves time to rest. This is where respite care at Josh Care comes to the rescue. You can choose a friend, family member, a paid support worker, or a volunteer to take care of your loved ones at that time.

Respite care services offer housing accommodation for varied time frames and also provide in-house help whenever our participants need it. They can stay there for a couple of hours, a day, over the weekend, or even as a short-term vacation. Respite services will let them step out of their usual routine and meet new people to engage in community activities.

NDIS short term accommodation is designed to support NDIS clients while they are staying away from home for a short period. This is a beneficial service when their caregivers are not around or need rest.

The carers will be able to take a break and have the much-needed personal time while an individual with a disability can try out new things and make new friends. We will cover things like food, stay, and personal care along with a few community activities in our short term accommodation.

NDIS short term accommodation is a form of respite home that will allow both participants and their caregiver to spend time doing the activities that bring them joy. Respite care providers offer them a supportive environment where they can experience new things while living away from home. Here are a few things they get when you choose NDIS Short Term Accommodation (STA) services.

• One-on-one assistance: A support worker who will provide one-on-one care for a short period that suits your needs and preferences.

• Customised stay: Clients can choose shared STA to stay overnight or over the weekend where these facility-based services align with your requirements.

• Group short term accommodation: This allows individuals with disabilities to be with people of similar interests where they can enjoy participating in group activities together.

• In-house service: For a person with high support needs, they can choose to get support services in the comfort of the home based on the intensity of their disability.

• Group activities: This is aimed at capacity building such as day trips, art sessions, and group fitness activities.

Usually, NDIS plan will include funding for short term accommodation. Participants can consult with our expert NDIS short term accommodation providers to apply for specialist disability accommodation and get additional support to suit their needs.
