The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) offers Short-Term Accommodation (STA) with respite support for people with disabilities. This funding allows
individuals to live away from their usual homes for a short period, typically up to 28 days a year, without compromising on the quality of disability support they receive. STA serves a dual purpose. It provides much-needed respite for carers, ensuring their well-being and ability to continue providing long-term support. For individuals with disabilities, STA can be a valuable tool for promoting independence, building new skills, and fostering social interaction.
NDIS short-term accommodation providers in Sydney can help the STA participants
access respite accommodation in prime locations that makes the stay convenient and
comfortable. Staying in one of those places feels more like a home away from home due to the highly personalised care plans and compassionate support workers. During their stay, participants can meet new people to expand their social circle and engage in their favourite activities to develop new skills. STA support is incredibly flexible and convenient as the 28 days allotted by the NDIS can be used by the participants in a way that best suits their needs.
The days can be used in a single two-week block of 14 days or participants can spread it out over several weekend getaways throughout the year.
Short-term accommodation support will also allow people with disabilities to experience living in a city like Sydney which will boost their confidence to live independently. Short Term Accommodation is not intended to be used in situations like a housing emergency. It is a cost-effective and value-for-money support funded by the NDIS to help participants pursue their goals, increase their independence and avail help for a short time when their informal support networks, like family or friends, are unavailable.
At Classy Life, we believe that STA can provide a safe environment for individuals to practice living independently, learn new skills, and build confidence in navigating unfamiliar environments. Our dedicated staff provides personalised support during your short-term stay, allowing you to focus on relaxation and achieving your goals.
