High Physical Support SDA | 2 Participant Bedrooms + OOA | Designed for Supported Living
A Thoughtfully Designed High Physical Support Home in Zuccoli
High Physical Support SDA | Two Participant Home + OOA | Private Ensuites
14 Turkeybush Way, Zuccoli is a purpose-built 2-participant SDA home designed under the High Physical Support design category. This single-storey home has been planned for participants who need strong physical accessibility, practical support access, and a comfortable home environment that still feels personal and welcoming.
The layout includes two participant bedrooms, each with its own ensuite, giving both residents a private and practical space of their own. A dedicated Overnight On-Call room is included near the front of the home, allowing support to be close by when needed while keeping participant areas separate and comfortable.
The home has been designed with step-free access, generous circulation spaces, accessible bathrooms, support-friendly bedroom layouts, and clear connection between the kitchen, dining, family area, lounge, outdoor spaces, and garage. It is a home built to support independence, daily comfort, safety, and dignity.
Everyday Living Spaces
Comfortable Shared Areas with Room to Move
The main kitchen, dining, and family area sits at the centre of the home and provides a practical shared space for everyday living. It connects naturally to the participant bedrooms, ensuites, laundry, lounge, outdoor verandah, and uncovered decking areas, helping the home feel connected without being crowded.
The kitchen is positioned within the open-plan living zone, making it easy for participants to be part of daily routines such as meals, conversation, and time with visitors. The High Physical Support design requirements include accessible kitchen circulation, suitable fixtures, wheelchair-accessible pantry provision, appropriate tapware, accessible benchtop design, task lighting, and slip-resistant flooring.
A separate lounge provides an additional living space away from the main family area. This gives participants and providers more flexibility in how the home is used, whether for quiet time, visitors, shared activities, or a calmer retreat within the home.
Private Participant Suites
Personal Space with Direct Ensuite Access
Both participant bedrooms are designed as proper private rooms, with space to support a queen bed and the circulation requirements expected in a High Physical Support SDA home. Each bedroom has its own ensuite, which is a significant benefit in a shared living arrangement because it supports privacy, dignity, and easier routines.
The bedrooms include built-in robe space and are designed with future support needs in mind. The High Physical Support checklist confirms provisions for power and structural capacity for future ceiling hoist installation, with the hoist provision required to support movement across and down the bed.
The layout places the two participant bedrooms apart from each other, helping each resident maintain their own sense of space. Bedroom 1 is positioned closer to the hallway and OOA side of the home, while Bedroom 2 is positioned near the verandah and open-plan living area. This creates a balanced shared home where support can be available, but each participant still has privacy.
Accessible Ensuite Design
Designed for Privacy, Movement and Support
Each participant bedroom is connected to its own ensuite, giving both residents direct access to a private bathroom. The bathrooms are designed to support High Physical Support requirements, including step-free shower access, compliant circulation, suitable WC, shower and hand basin arrangements, slip-resistant flooring, and reinforced wall provisions for future fittings.
These bathroom features are important because they allow daily personal care routines to be managed with more space, safety, and privacy. The design supports participants, support workers, and equipment use without making the home feel institutional.
Kitchen, Dining and Lounge
A Practical Layout for Daily Routines
The kitchen, dining, and family area is designed to work as the main everyday living space. It gives participants room to be involved in the home, whether they are preparing food, spending time at the dining table, relaxing in the living area, or connecting with visitors and support workers.
The High Physical Support design requirements include practical kitchen fixtures such as a cooktop, oven, sink, dishwasher, suitable clearances, accessible tapware, task lighting, and wheelchair-friendly storage access. These features help make the kitchen more usable for participants and easier for support workers to assist when needed.
The separate lounge adds another layer of flexibility. In a 2-participant home, having more than one living space can make a meaningful difference. It gives residents more choice in how they spend their day and helps reduce pressure on shared areas.
Overnight Support
Staff Access Without Compromising Participant Privacy
The home includes a dedicated OOA room located near the front entry and porch area. This allows overnight support to be available when required, while still keeping participant bedrooms and living spaces separate.
The assessment confirms that the OOA room is provided and is not shared with another dwelling. This is important for SIL providers because it supports clear staffing arrangements and helps maintain privacy for participants.
The positioning of the OOA room near the entry also helps create a support-friendly layout. Staff can access the home without moving through private participant spaces unnecessarily, while still being close enough to respond when needed.
Outdoor Living
Easy Access to Fresh Air and Usable Open Space
The home includes a verandah and uncovered decking areas that connect with the living spaces and participant areas. These outdoor areas provide opportunities for fresh air, quiet time, and relaxed use of the property without needing to leave home.
The site plan shows step-free access from the boundary and driveway area to the home, with the garage, porch, verandah, and decking arranged around the residence. This supports safer everyday movement between inside and outside, including for participants using mobility equipment.
The outdoor areas are designed to be practical and easy to maintain. They give participants access to usable outdoor space while keeping the property simple, safe, and suitable for supported living.
High Physical Support Features
Built to Support Safety, Independence and Long-Term Use
14 Turkeybush has been designed as a High Physical Support SDA home, not a standard home with accessibility added later. The design includes step-free access, wide doorways, compliant circulation spaces, accessible sanitary facilities, participant bedroom circulation, slip-resistant flooring, consistent switch and power-point positioning, and provisions for future assistive technology.
The home also includes features that support safety and long-term usability, including emergency power provision, high-speed internet capability with wi-fi coverage, communication system provision between participants and supports, smoke alarms in bedrooms and living spaces, and an emergency evacuation plan.
For SIL providers, the layout supports practical staffing and participant independence. The OOA room, separate lounge, open-plan living space, two private participant bedrooms, two ensuites, garage, laundry, and outdoor areas all contribute to a home that can support daily routines, privacy, and responsive care.
