The Importance of Choice and Control in SDA Housing

At Roberts SDA Homes, we understand that independence doesn’t just mean living alone; it means making choices about one’s own life. Specialised Disability Accommodation (SDA) is designed not only to meet physical needs but also to empower residents to have control over their care and living arrangements. Here’s how we at Roberts SDA Homes champion these crucial aspects in our new properties in Pakenham.

Empowering Residents Through Choice:

Choice and control are fundamental principles in our approach to disability housing. We believe that every individual should have the authority to make decisions about how they live, from the type of support they receive to the daily routines they prefer. This autonomy is vital for fostering dignity and self-respect among our residents.

Tailored Living Arrangements:

Our SDA homes are built to adapt to the preferences and requirements of their occupants. Each property is equipped with adjustable features that residents can control, such as environmental controls and assistive technology, allowing them to tailor their living space to their comfort and needs. This flexibility helps ensure that our homes can evolve with our residents’ changing preferences and requirements.

Participatory Care Planning:

At Roberts SDA Homes, care planning is a collaborative process. Residents are encouraged to actively participate in creating and adjusting their care plans. This involvement ensures that the support provided aligns with their personal goals and aspirations, thus promoting a sense of empowerment and involvement.

Community Integration:

Choice and control extend beyond the confines of the home. We facilitate opportunities for residents to engage with the community according to their interests. Whether it’s participating in local events, undertaking educational courses, or engaging in leisure activities, our residents choose how they interact with the world around them.

Advocacy and Support:

Maintaining choice and control sometimes requires navigation through complex systems and advocacy. Our staff are trained to assist residents in advocating for their rights and accessing the services they need. By supporting our residents in this way, we ensure they remain in control of their lives and receive the respect they deserve from wider systems and services.

The Broader Impact:

By prioritising choice and control, Roberts SDA Homes not only enhances the lives of its residents but also sets a standard in the disability sector. Our approach encourages a shift towards more respectful and person-centred housing solutions, influencing how services are provided across the industry.

Conclusion:

Choice and control are more than just concepts at Roberts SDA Homes; they are practices embedded in every aspect of our operations. As we look forward to the completion of our properties in Pakenham, we remain committed to ensuring that our residents lead empowered, fulfilled lives. This commitment to autonomy makes our homes not just places to live, but spaces where individuals thrive.
