SDA can provide your loved one with a safe, accessible, and supportive home environment tailored to their specific needs. This can promote their independence, enhance their quality of life, and offer peace of mind knowing they have access to appropriate housing and support services.
Consider your loved one's individual needs and preferences, such as location, accessibility features, support services, compatibility with potential housemates and funding. SDA Residential will work closely with you to understand these factors and find the best fit.
SDA funding is provided through the NDIS for eligible individuals. You'll need to work with your loved one's Support Coordinator to include SDA funding in their NDIS plan. SDA Residential can help you navigate this process and ensure your loved one has the necessary funding.

SDA Residential offers resources and support to families and guardians throughout the SDA journey, including guidance on choosing a home, understanding the NDIS process, and accessing relevant information and services.
SDA is specifically for housing and is designed to be complemented by other support services, such as Supported Independent Living (SIL). If your loved one needs additional support, SDA Residential and your support coordinator can help you connect with appropriate service providers.
