NDIS short term accommodation
It’s not uncommon for people with a disability to require short-term accommodation in order to remain safely in their homes. Many people with a disability who require assistance with daily living, such as financial management and meal preparation, find that they can’t safely perform these activities without the help of a carer. Short-term accommodation includes 24-hour respite care, which could be provided by family members or friends. The care provided can include light cooking, cleaning, medication administration, and support with activities of daily living such as showering, dressing, toileting, and washing. Short-term accommodation provides a temporary solution and must be assessed by a carer as to whether it is suitable and safe. The carer must assess the person’s health and the safety of the home environment to determine if it is appropriate to provide short-term accommodation. Carers must adhere to the Australian Standard for Residential Care (ASRC) and are required to complete a Care and Assessment report when providing short-term accommodation.
NDIS respite
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is Australia’s largest reform for people with disability. The NDIS is a federally funded, comprehensive, coordinated, and comprehensive service to help people with disability to achieve their personal goals and aspirations. The funding of the NDIS will be phased in from July 2014 and is designed to provide people with disability the opportunity to participate in society and to have the same opportunities as other Australians. People with disability will have access to a range of supports to help them achieve their goals and aspirations, including short-term respite. In order to be eligible to receive NDIS funding, people with disability must have a written disability supports plan (DSDP) outlining their desired outcomes and the support they’d like to access. People with disability will need to nominate a support person to help them access the desired support.
