Our vision is to provide a home in which participants feel empowered to live a fulfilling existence in their home in Thuringowa.

For participants in Thuringowa, we work one-on-one to design support plans that respect participants’ desires, preferences, and goals.

It’s not a question of providing a service; it’s a question of developing a relationship of trust in which participants feel accepted and heard. We pride ourselves in providing a home that is open, respecting, and valuing each participant’s freedom and dignity. Your home is your home, and we’re here to enable you to enjoy it to its potential—enjoying the things you love, connecting to your community, and working towards your goals.

It’s your home. Do the things you love.

When it’s all to do with home in Thuringowa, it’s a matter of having a home that’s just right for you: a home that’s a reflection of you, a home that you feel you can be in charge of, a home that you feel secure.

Home to us is a place that you can be independent, that you can be in charge of pursuing that which brings you joy.

Our SIL services enable you to do just that—enjoy that which brings you joy, be it pursuing a hobby, socializing, or just getting on with day-to-day routines without restriction.

Under a support living arrangement, everything in your care arrangement is adjusted to accommodate your needs. If you require support in day-to-day needs such as preparing food, cleaning, or grooming, or if you require support in managing more sophisticated medical or emotional needs, we’re here to enable you to receive that support you require whilst having freedom to choose in your life.

Our vision is to provide a place in which you feel you are heard, respected, and facilitated to live your life in whatever way you choose.
