NDIS Housing Mysterton

Mysterton provides various NDIS housing to cater to various needs to enable each person to choose the most suitable living arrangement to their style of living. As a registered SIL provider, we provide various housing situations and support services to enable a person with a disability to live independently yet receive support that he or she needs.

SIL (Supported Independent Living)

Supported Independent Living (SIL) permits participants to live in their home of their choice and receive support that is necessary to become independent. Here at Mysterton, our SIL support permits participants to be supported in day-to-day living such as personal care, meal preparation, housework, and budgeting. In close consultation, we work to craft a participant-centered support plan that is centered around independent living skills development and self-reliance. SIL can be between 24/7 support or more low-level arrangements depending on individual needs. It permits you to live in a place you feel most comfortable to live in comfort to be facilitated towards more self-reliance.

MTA (Medium Term Accommodation)

Medium Term Accommodation (MTA) is a dynamic accommodation option that has been established for participants that need short to medium-term accommodation in transitioning to a more permanent accommodation arrangement. In case that you are waiting for your permanent NDIS housing grant or need a short-term home, MTA is a cozy place to live in comfort. Here at Mysterton, we deliver MTA with everything you need to help you in day-to-day living, having one-on-one support at hand when you need it. MTA is to provide you with a place of support to enable you in arranging more permanent accommodation and self-reliance.

STA (Short Term Accommodation)

Short Term Accommodation (STA) is a short-term, flexible accommodation arrangement for participants in need of short-term relief or short-term care for a short time period. In need of accommodation during a short vacation or after a period of injury, STA is a convenient arrangement for a person in need of care without a permanent setup. In Mysterton, our STA services provide you with high-quality care in a homey and friendly setup, where there is emphasis on making your stay a positive one that enhances you.

Respite Services

Respite care is a relief to participants and their family, providing a time-out of their usual caregiving routine. In Mysterton, our respite care provides you with short-term relief stays during which participants get the care that you require while their regular caregivers take a time to rest or attend to other matters. The services are flexible, such that if you require a short time period of a few days or a lengthy time period of relief, our services can be adjusted to accommodate you. Relief stays provide a participant a chance to be in new places and enjoy new experiences, with continued provision of support and care that you require.

Our SIL NDIS services consist of:

What is Supported Independent Living?

Supported Independent Living (SIL) is providing support services to a person with a disability in order to allow them to live as independently as possible in their home or in their local neighbourhood. SIL is a style of NDIS support that is used to provide support for the activities of daily living, personal care, and whatever else is needed in order to live independently. It is used to build a place where a person is allowed to live life to their potential, yet also receive whatever support that is required to allow them to live their best life.

In SIL, support to participants is offered by a team of staff that responds to needs on a need’s basis by the participant. This includes support in such aspects such as cleaning, cooking, personal care, socializing, and managing medications. SIL permits participants to enjoy a compatible level of independence in line with their capabilities, in the knowledge that support is there when it is required.

For participants requiring high or complex support, SIL services can be established to deliver just the right support 24/7. This can be in such aspects such as mobility support to managing medications to emotional support. SIL is not a question of delivering a high level of care; it’s a question of enabling independence, ensuring quality of life, and better health and wellbeing for participants.

SIL services are dynamic and individualized, that is, varied over time to adjust to changed needs. The support can also be graduated, in that participants can gain more independence as they become skilled and build up their self-confidence yet be able to access support in key areas that they require. SIL is all about enabling independence, safety, and enabling participants to live their lives to their potential.
