The concept was developed following a series of individual discussions and focus groups with people in the target group, i.e. people living with, and/or supporting people with, acquired brain injury, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, and other neurological conditions.
People with acquired disabilities have a memory of life before their disability, and a strong desire to maximise their independence and control over their lives. Their constant plea is for space of their own in a supportive environment.
The concept is designed to maximise independence within a community setting, enable shared and peer group support, as well as offering respite and a transitional program.
Residents can enjoy their own space, and/or join in communal activities - such as cooking and gardening.
