NDIS disability support in Adelaide Hills

Supported Independent Living (SIL) in Adelaide Hills

Supported Independent Living pays for the day-to-day help you need to live in a shared or individual home - personal care, medication, meals, getting out, and overnight support. It is funded separately from the rent or board you pay for the house itself.

We do not currently run a supported home inside Adelaide Hills, but we place Adelaide Hills participants into MCCS homes elsewhere in Adelaide where the housemate match is right, and we deliver in-home SIL-style support in a participant's own home or rental across the region.

We match on compatibility first. Before anyone moves in we look at daily routines, communication, sensory needs, behaviour support requirements and how a person likes to spend their time - then arrange a visit and an overnight stay before a decision is made. MCCS is a registered NDIS provider under Modules 1 and 2A, which means our team is approved for high-intensity daily personal activities and specialist behaviour support, so we can take on complex and high-intensity needs that some providers decline.

Short-Term Accommodation and respite (STA) in Adelaide Hills

Short-Term Accommodation - what most families still call respite - covers a stay away from home of up to 14 days at a time, including support, meals and activities. It gives a participant a change of scene and gives family carers a genuine break.

For Adelaide Hills families we offer planned STA booked in advance around school holidays, carer surgery or a holiday, and emergency STA when a carer falls ill or a living arrangement breaks down at short notice. Stays run in our supported homes with the same staff team, so a participant who already knows a house can come back to somewhere familiar.

STA sits under Core supports in most plans, so in many cases it can be used flexibly without a plan review. If you are not sure whether your plan covers it, contact our team and we will read the plan with you.

Other NDIS support we deliver across Adelaide Hills

Alongside SIL and respite we provide Medium-Term Accommodation (MTA) for participants waiting on a permanent home, Individualised Living Options (ILO) for people who want to design their own living arrangement, in-home and personal care, community nursing, and social and community participation. We cover the Adelaide Hills Council and Mount Barker District Council, reaching Stirling, Aldgate, Crafers, Bridgewater, Hahndorf, Mount Barker and Nairne and the surrounding suburbs from our office in Hilton.
