Finding the Right Home: How Easthaven Supports Independent Living

Finding a safe, comfortable, and inclusive place to live is one of the most important parts of achieving independence. For many people living with disability, the right accommodation can be life-changing — creating a foundation for confidence, stability, and community connection. At Easthaven, our NDIS accommodation services are built around that vision. We provide personalised housing and support options that empower participants to live life on their own terms.

Our team understands that every person’s journey is unique. Whether you need Short-Term Accommodation (STA) for respite, Medium-Term Accommodation (MTA) while transitioning between homes, or long-term Supported Independent Living (SIL), Easthaven offers flexible solutions to meet your needs.

Short-Term Accommodation, often referred to as respite, provides short stays away from home for participants who need rest or for carers who need time to recharge. These stays are more than just a break — they’re an opportunity for participants to experience new environments, meet new people, and build independence in a supportive space. Our dedicated staff are available around the clock to assist with daily routines, personal care, and recreation, ensuring every stay feels safe, engaging, and restorative.

Medium-Term Accommodation, or MTA, is designed for participants who need temporary housing before moving into a permanent home. Easthaven’s MTA service provides stability during these transitional periods. Whether you’re waiting for home modifications, preparing for long-term living, or moving from hospital care, our MTA homes are safe, accessible, and fully supported. We also help participants maintain daily routines, learn new skills, and stay connected with the community while preparing for the next stage of independent living.

For those seeking ongoing support, our Supported Independent Living (SIL) services provide the structure, assistance, and freedom to thrive in shared or individual living arrangements. Easthaven’s SIL homes are designed to feel like real homes — warm, inclusive, and supportive. Participants receive help with cooking, cleaning, budgeting, and personal care, while also being encouraged to take part in community life. Our professional support workers are available 24/7, helping each person achieve a balance between independence and security.

Easthaven’s approach to accommodation goes beyond providing housing. It’s about creating environments where people can grow, learn, and feel part of a community. Every participant is treated as an individual, with a focus on strengths, goals, and personal choice. We collaborate closely with families, carers, and support coordinators to ensure each support plan aligns with NDIS goals and long-term wellbeing.

Choosing an NDIS accommodation provider like Easthaven offers lasting benefits. Participants gain access to comfortable, purpose-built homes that support mobility and safety. They also receive professional care, flexible assistance, and community engagement opportunities — all essential components for building independence. Most importantly, our services are guided by empathy and respect, ensuring that every participant feels valued and understood.

Transitioning into new accommodation can feel overwhelming, but Easthaven’s team makes the process smooth and stress-free. From the initial consultation and NDIS plan assessment to home matching and move-in support, we guide participants every step of the way. Once settled, we continue to provide ongoing reviews and adjustments to make sure the support remains relevant to changing needs.

The impact of secure, supported accommodation extends far beyond the physical home. It builds confidence, restores autonomy, and opens new possibilities for work, education, and social participation. We’ve seen participants rediscover hobbies, build friendships, and re-engage with their communities — outcomes that highlight the importance of a stable, caring environment.

For anyone seeking quality NDIS accommodation services in Geelong or the surrounding regions, Easthaven offers trusted, compassionate care that puts people first. You can learn more about our Accommodation Services or submit a general referral to begin your journey with us.

At Easthaven, we believe independence starts with the right support and the right place to call home.
