Modern Accessible High Physical Support SDA Kalkallo

Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) in Kalkallo provides purpose-built housing for NDIS participants with high physical support needs, delivered alongside Supported Independent Living (SIL) for day-to-day support. This home is built to High Physical Support design standards, with a smaller two-resident household for a quieter, more personalised living environment. 

SIL (Supported Independent Living) refers to the support services provided to help with daily tasks such as personal care, cooking, and household activities. SDA (Specialist Disability Accommodation) refers to the physical housing designed for people with high support needs. In simple terms, SDA is the home itself, while SIL is the support you receive while living there. 

This home suits participants who have High Physical Support SDA funding in their NDIS plan, along with SIL funding for daily support. If you're not sure whether your plan includes SDA funding, it's worth reaching out to a Support Coordinator, who can help assess your needs and guide you through the NDIS process. 

Alongside High Physical Support SDA, this property supports Supported Independent Living (SIL), Medium-Term Accommodation (MTA), and Short-Term Accommodation (STA/Respite), so it can suit a range of individual needs and circumstances. Participants also have the flexibility to keep their existing support provider or receive support from Cosy Home Care's team. 

Your SDA funding pays the provider to build and maintain the property. As a participant, you still contribute a reasonable rent amount, usually capped at 25% of the Disability Support Pension plus a portion of Commonwealth Rent Assistance, along with day-today living costs such as electricity, water, food, internet, and personal expenses. Actual costs can vary depending on the design category of the property, which for this home is High Physical Support

This home is purpose-built to High Physical Support standards, with features designed specifically for higher support needs. It includes ceiling hoist provisions for future installation, reinforced bathroom walls for assistive equipment, an adaptive kitchen with adjustable benchtops, step-free access throughout, wide doorways and circulation spaces, and a dedicated Onsite Overnight Assistance (OOA) bedroom, plus a wheelchair-accessible car park and emergency power backup for extra peace of mind. 

"Board is your contribution towards food and shared household items. It may cover groceries for daily meals, cleaning supplies and toiletries, and shared kitchen and household basics." 

With only two residents, housemates are carefully matched based on support needs, communication styles, personalities, daily routines, lifestyle preferences, accessibility requirements, and compatibility with existing residents, so the household stays calm, welcoming, and supportive. 

The home has 24-hour onsite shared support plus dedicated Onsite Overnight Assistance (OOA), including help with personal care, medication management, and daily living, with individualised support planning reviewed regularly.
