Respite care (STA)
Short-Term Accommodation (STA) is a way of providing respite care that allows both you and your carer to have a break or a change of scenery.
It’s a broad term that covers various types of short-term accommodation support and also includes respite care. Our STA or short term accommodation service for NDIS participants in Western Sydney regions enables you to experience living away from home in a supportive environment for short periods of time.
STA could look like
- One-on-one short-term care where you are paired up with a support worker for a period of time that suits your particular needs. This can be spent in your home or out in the community participating in local activities including camps.
- Group short-term options match your needs with other people who may have similar needs and interests and enjoy participating in a group respite activity.
- Overnight or weekend facility-based support where your needs and interests align with shared short-term accommodation facilities.
STA isn’t just about the accommodation, it also involves the support you receive while staying there.
What are the benefits of STA?
A short stay away from home can help you:
- Make new friends and meet new people
- Try new activities
- Enjoy a change of scenery
- Step outside your comfort zone
