Specialisation
In addition to providing supported independent living and respite care at Elsie Station, we also offer supported respite off-site. Our team will support young people in their own home or as they setup their own home for the first time
Off-Site Supported Respite
Sometimes our young people may need a remote location with a specialist team supporting them in order to build on key skills, have security and be able to integrate back into the community. The Elsie Station team is able to provide a specialist approach in looking after a client off-site 24/7. Our team is experienced in finding suitable off-site accommodation, taking the specific circumstances of each person into account. We pride ourselves in matching interests, hobbies and even an individual's concerns with the right location. For example, teenagers and young adults that enjoy fishing may prefer to be close to a river or beach, those that enjoy hiking may prefer a bush or mountain setting.
By supporting individuals in the most appropriate accommodation and supporting them with the right support team, we have found that they are settled and able to acclimatize better to new situations. Over time, the goal is to build the individual up so that they are able to integrate back into society and interact appropriately with their peers and the wider community.
In Home Support
Our team have support workers that can work with young people in their own environment. This includes teaching key life skills as well as doing fun activities with our clients to enable them to grow in confidence, and live their best life.
Support Setting up Home
When our young people are ready to embark on living on their own or in a shared accommodation setting, our team can help. We are able to help our clients set up their first home, whilst providing support around the clock to ensure that they have the best chance of living independently. Our team can work with young people for a period of time every day or as needed to ensure that they master the key skills required to live independently.
