The ARC Holiday House provides Short Term Accommodation Assistance to people with disabilities in a friendly, tailorable to need and family style supported residential setting. If required, guest’s usual routines and activities can be continued where possible. For those guests who do not have daily activities organised, our friendly Holiday House team members will support guests with suitable activities during the day. All our guests are encouraged to participate as active members of the household to ensure any skills being built upon are maintained and new learning opportunities presented.
Up to 4 guests can stay at the house at any one time, although an additional place may be available in an emergency situation. |
Our Residential Short Term Accommodation service is based in a large wheelchair accessible family style house in Manunda. We offer guests an opportunity for a complete break from their usual living circumstances by providing overnight care for short periods or for longer stays. Support is provided to meet individual needs and as negotiated with our guest, their family/carer(s) and as documented in our mandatory information forms.

More Than Just Support
Whenever possible, guests will be “matched” with other guests of similar age or interests so the stay can provide opportunities for friendship building, life skills development and a more enjoyable stay for all. In addition to this, arrangements for altered staffing requirements (i.e. daytime support for people who don’t access schools or other day services) and transport to and from school or activities can be organised in advance where possible.
Our 24 hour roster is staffed by our great team of experienced support workers. We have a mix of male & female workers on the team to ensure everyone’s needs are met in line with their own individual support requirements and or culturally specific needs. We are also able to access other support workers from ARC’s great group of staff. |
