NDIS Medium Term Accommodation
Your Bridge to Independence
Why Choose Medium Term Accommodation?
Leaving hospital is a significant step in your journey, and Medium Term Accommodation (MTA) offers the perfect bridge to greater independence.
Here is why MTA could be the right choice for you or your loved one:
A Stepping Stone to Independence: MTA provides a safe, supportive environment where you can gradually regain your independence. It’s your chance to spread your wings while still having support when you need it.
Your Space, Your Rules: Enjoy the privacy of your own room and the freedom to make choices about your daily life. From selecting your meals to deciding how to spend your day, MTA puts you in control.
Closer to What Matters: Often, MTA can bring you closer to family and friends. Maintain your important connections while receiving the care you need.
Community at Your Doorstep: Engage in community activities and outings with support workers. Whether it’s a trip to the local café or joining a community group, MTA helps you stay connected to the world around you.
Skill Building: Use this time to test and develop new skills in a safe environment. From daily living tasks to mobility exercises, MTA is your practice ground for life skills.
Personalised Care: Benefit from regular assessments by occupational therapists and other health professionals. This ensures your care is tailored to your evolving needs and goals.
Finding Your Forever Home: MTA gives you time to thoroughly explore your options for long-term housing. Use this period to visit potential homes, consider different locations, and make an informed decision about your future living arrangements.
Support for Younger Participants: MTA is an excellent option for younger participants at risk of being admitted to aged care, providing a suitable environment while they wait for home modifications or identified specialist disability accommodation.
Transition from Aged Care: For participants wishing to leave aged care facilities, MTA offers a supportive stepping stone while waiting for home modifications or identified specialist disability accommodation.
