Young Person Disability Care Accommodation

Young people suffering from severe disabilities have been overlooked for some time in Australia and it is currently estimated that in excess of 2,600 young people under the age of 50 are residing in aged care facilities Australia wide. 

In South Australia, there are over 50 young people trapped in inadequate care due to a lack of alternatives with a further 30 people in hospital waiting for a full time care option.  These figures do not include those people living at home and being cared for by family members who desperately need relief.  This is an unfortunate situation for both the individual and their families and limits the chances of the person ever living their life to their full potential. Improper surroundings often have further impact on the psychological and physical well-being of disabled individuals due to a lack of rehabilitation programs, therapeutic treatment and interaction with people of a similar age. 

A small group of individuals has recognised the tragic situation many young people are in and has begun co-ordinating a project which it hopes will provide a solution in the form of a contemporary, purpose- built property.
