Living Independently: Keithโ€™s Journey to His New SDA Villa

13.01.25

Recently, Sue visited Keith, one of our newest tenants, at his beautiful new home in Cannington. Over a cuppa and a chat, Sue checked in to see how Keith was settling into the modern villa he now calls home. Having moved in mid-2024, Keith is already enjoying the independence and comfort his new Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) home offers.

Keithโ€™s villa is part of our recently completed three-unit development in Cannington. The development includes his single-resident home, a three-person share home, and a two-person share home. While Keith has the luxury of an entire home to himself, thereโ€™s still availability in the three-person share villa for those seeking a blend of privacy and community living. If youโ€™re interested, contact us for more information!

Nestled on a serene, tree-lined street with no-through access, this development is a peaceful retreat while being well-connected. Enjoy proximity to Westfield Carousel shopping centre, offering effortless access to retail outlets, dining options, entertainment facilities, and essential services. Keithโ€™s home is designed with independence in mind. The villa boasts a spacious bedroom with private a ensuite, high ceilings, and a modern but calming colour palette. Features like auto-entry doors, automated blinds, intercom systems, tablet-controlled lighting, and air conditioning provide convenience and ease. The kitchen is not only stylish but also inclusive, with adjustable-height benches and its wide open plan makes navigating in a wheelchair a breeze, ensuring residents can enjoy meal preparation with ease.

Sue asked how living in an SDA home designed for independence changed Keithโ€™s daily life or routine. Keith responded that it had greatly changed his daily life. He explained, "I can go out whenever I want. I can go to the shops because they're just down the road. I go to my doctor because he's just down the road. Itโ€™s changed heaps". Sue asked Keith about his experience moving into the villa and how it compares to his previous living arrangements. Keith shared that he had lived in a transitional house with several other people before. โ€œI was in a transitional house before, and it had several people in it,โ€ he said. He went on to say, โ€œItโ€™s great living on my own here. Itโ€™s much better.โ€

During their conversation, Sue also asked Keith what makes his new home feel welcoming and homely. He smiled and said, โ€œI can put all my photos up. Itโ€™s just great.โ€ He also highlighted how the support staff, who are available when needed, enhance his independence. Keith explained, โ€œI get the staff for three hours in the morning and three hours at night, but I donโ€™t really need to call them because Iโ€™m very independent.โ€

Later, Sue inquired what Keith would say to someone considering a move to an SDA home but feeling unsure. Without hesitation, Keith said, โ€œIโ€™d laugh at them and tell them to move straight away. Itโ€™s made a great difference to me and my independence.โ€

If you or someone you know is considering SDA living, our three-person share house still has availability. Donโ€™t miss the chance to join this vibrant community and experience the perfect balance of privacy, convenience, and connected living.
