Debunking 5 Common Myths About NDIS Short-term Accommodation
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut elit tellus, luctus nec ullamcorper mattis, pulvinar dapibus leo.
Myth 1: Short-term Accommodation Only Covers My Accommodation!
Not true! It’s a place to stay and much more than that. Our team not only provides a temporary place to stay, but also care that involves personal skills, skill-development activities, and promoting social interaction.
When it comes to food, our NDIS service provider ensures that participants’ dietary needs and preferences are met. Enhanced well-being is the ultimate objective of STA, focusing on comprehensive care that provides the basis for growth, independence, and linkage with the community.
Myth 2: Short-term Accommodation Is Only For Long Stays
STA can be for a short or long period of stay as needed by the participant. The NDIS funds up to 28 days of STA per year, which you can use in flexible proportions, for example, 14 days or even a week at a time (Reference: NDIS). It is STA, and whether the need is for some days or weeks, STA gives a break to the caregiver and supports the participant’s need.
Myth 3: I’ve To Stay Alone In Short-term Accommodation
