At Withcare, we promote supportive, enabling, and safe living environments for the disabled. Recognizing what our community has endured, we provide Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) and Supported Independent Living (SIL) services that enable people to have fulfilling and independent lives with the necessary support.
Understanding Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA)
Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) refers to purpose-built housing specifically designed for people with extreme functional impairment or very high support needs. The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) recognizes SDA as primarily ensuring that people’s living space is safe, accessible, and comfortable and is used to cater to disabilities.
Our SDA homes are designed to facilitate accessibility and functionality, providing residents with the freedom to move easily and comfortably. Each home is designed with features that cater to the specific needs of the individual, such as wheelchair accessibility, modified bathrooms, and assistive technologies.
Choosing the right SDA to enhance the quality of life of the disabled is quite important. Withcare is proud to be able to offer several different SDA options, all designed to address the specific needs of its residents.
