High Physical Support SDA Living in Lara
2 Participant Bedrooms | Private Ensuites | Study | Onsite Overnight Assistance (OOA) Included
11 Esk Street, Lara is a purpose-built High Physical Support SDA home created for participants who need strong accessibility, reliable support-readiness, and a home environment that still feels calm, personal, and easy to live in.
The home is designed for 2 participants and includes two participant bedrooms, private ensuites, an Onsite Overnight Assistance (OOA) room, a study, open living and meals area, kitchen, garage, laundry, and alfresco area. The single-level layout supports easier movement through the main areas of the home and gives both participants and support teams a practical, well-connected setting for everyday living.
This is a home that brings together comfort, privacy, and High Physical Support design in a way that feels natural. Future ceiling hoist capability, emergency power provision, fire sprinklers, accessible controls, reinforced sanitary walls, assistive technology readiness, and step-free access principles all help support safer routines and long-term stability.
Everyday Living Spaces
Open, Connected and Comfortable
The Family & Meals area forms the main shared space of the home, connecting with the kitchen and alfresco to support everyday routines in one easy-to-use area.
This central living space gives participants a comfortable place for meals, quiet time, visitors, support, and daily connection. The layout helps movement feel more predictable and reduces the pressure that can come from tight or disconnected spaces.
Vinyl flooring, step-free internal transitions, and clear circulation planning support practical daily use while still allowing the home to feel residential and relaxed. It is a shared space designed for real living, not just basic access.
Participant Bedrooms
Personal Retreats With Practical Support
The home includes two participant bedrooms, each designed to provide a private place for rest, routine, and personal comfort.
Both participant bedrooms include robe storage and have close access to private ensuite facilities. The bedrooms also include provisions for future ceiling hoist installation, with structural and power readiness included to support High Physical Support needs over time.
Emergency power provision to participant bedroom GPOs adds another important layer of safety and reliability. These bedrooms give each participant a defined personal retreat while keeping daily support practical and close when required.
Kitchen and Shared Areas
Daily Routines Made Simpler
The kitchen connects directly with the Family & Meals area, making cooking, meals, and daily activities easier to manage in the centre of the home.
The kitchen includes support-ready features such as an adjustable benchtop provision, induction cooktop, wall oven, dishwasher provision, pull-out pantry, accessible tapware, task lighting, and slip-resistant flooring. These features support practical use without making the space feel clinical.
The connection between the kitchen, meals, and living area helps participants stay involved in daily routines, whether that means preparing food, sharing meals, relaxing nearby, or receiving support in a clear and comfortable space.
Ensuites and Bathrooms
Private Care With Greater Confidence
The participant ensuites are designed to support personal care with privacy, dignity, and easier movement.
These spaces include step-free shower areas, accessible shower and toilet planning, reinforced sanitary walls, slip-resistant flooring, and lever or sensor-style tapware. These features help support safer routines while still keeping the bathrooms practical and home-like.
Private ensuite access is a key benefit in a shared SDA home. It allows each participant to maintain personal routine, reduce shared-living stress, and receive support in a way that feels more respectful and controlled.
Study
A Separate Space for Flexibility
The home includes a separate study, adding another useful room beyond the shared living area and participant bedrooms.
This space can support quieter activities, appointments, household administration, therapy-related tasks, or time away from the main living area. In a two-participant home, this kind of extra room can make day-to-day living feel more flexible and less crowded.
It gives the household another option throughout the day, supporting different routines, different energy levels, and the practical needs of participants and support teams.
Onsite Overnight Assistance (OOA) Room
Responsive Support With Clear Separation
The home includes a dedicated Onsite Overnight Assistance (OOA) room so support can remain nearby when needed without taking over participant spaces.
The OOA has its own ensuite, supporting overnight response and daily operations in a way that is practical for SIL providers and respectful for participants.
This arrangement helps maintain privacy and independence while giving participants, families, and support teams confidence that assistance can be close, responsive, and well placed within the home.
Outdoor Area
A Calm Extension of Home
The alfresco area connects with the main living space, creating a practical outdoor area for fresh air, quiet moments, and time with visitors.
This outdoor connection gives participants another option during the day without needing to leave the property. It can support a change of environment, a calmer place to sit, or a simple extension of shared living.
With fencing and step-free access principles included in the broader design, the outdoor area supports comfort, privacy, and safer everyday use.
