High Physical Support SDA | Two Participant Home + OOA | Private Ensuite Living
A High Physical Support Home Made for Everyday Confidence
Private Ensuites | OOA Included | Outdoor Living Area
15 Dove Avenue, Winter Valley is a purpose-built 2-participant SDA home designed under the High Physical Support design category. This single-storey residence has been created for participants who need higher physical support while still wanting a home that feels comfortable, private, and easy to settle into.
The layout supports independence, dignity, and daily routine. The home includes two SDA participant bedrooms, each with private ensuite access to make personal care more comfortable and less disruptive. A dedicated Onsite Overnight Assistance (OOA) room is also included, allowing support to remain close while participant spaces stay clearly respected.
The home brings together step-free access principles, accessible circulation, ceiling hoist provisions, reinforced sanitary walls, assistive technology readiness, emergency power provision, and a practical single-level design. These features help participants and SIL providers manage everyday routines with more confidence, safety, and ease.
Everyday Living
Connected, Calm and Practical
The main kitchen, meals, and family area sits at the centre of the home, creating a shared space that feels open, usable, and easy to move through. This part of the home supports everyday routines such as preparing meals, relaxing, spending time with others, and receiving support in a natural residential setting.
The kitchen connects directly with the meals and family area, helping reduce unnecessary movement between spaces. In a High Physical Support home, that kind of simple, connected layout can make a real difference to comfort, confidence, and daily flow.
A separate lounge near the entry gives the home another flexible living space. It can be used for quiet time, visitors, or as a second place to relax away from the main shared area. This added choice is valuable in shared SDA living because it gives participants more control over how they use the home throughout the day.
Private Participant Spaces
Personal Rooms with Ensuite Access
The home includes two SDA participant bedrooms, designed to give each person their own private space for rest, routine, and personal control. The bedroom arrangement supports privacy while still allowing support to remain nearby when required.
Each participant bedroom has access to its own ensuite, helping reduce reliance on shared bathroom spaces and supporting more dignified personal care routines. This arrangement can be especially important for participants who need assistance with transfers, showering, dressing, or other daily supports.
Ceiling hoist provision is included to the participant bedrooms and ensuites, supporting future equipment needs and helping the home remain suitable for long-term High Physical Support living. Built-in robe storage and air conditioning provision also support comfort, routine, and everyday practicality.
Kitchen and Shared Areas
Accessible Design for Daily Routines
The kitchen is designed to support daily living in a way that feels practical and familiar. It includes accessible kitchen requirements, provision for an adjustable bench, a wall oven, cooktop, sink, dishwasher, pull-out pantry storage, and task lighting above work areas.
The layout allows participants to remain connected to the meals and family area while cooking, receiving support, or spending time with others. Rather than feeling separate or difficult to access, the kitchen remains part of the everyday rhythm of the home.
The open living and dining arrangement also supports SIL operations by giving support workers clear, practical spaces to assist without crowding participants. This helps the home function well for real daily routines, not just occasional use.
Onsite Overnight Assistance (OOA) Room
Responsive Support with Respectful Separation
The home includes a dedicated OOA room so overnight support can be provided when required. This gives participants, families, support coordinators, and SIL providers confidence that assistance can remain close by.
The layout keeps participant spaces and support spaces clearly considered, helping maintain privacy while still supporting timely response. This balance is important in High Physical Support SDA because the home needs to feel safe and support-ready without feeling clinical.
For SIL providers, the OOA room also supports smoother overnight operations and a more practical staffing arrangement within the home.
Outdoor Living
Fresh Air Within Easy Reach
The home includes an outdoor living area connected to the main living space, giving participants a simple and usable place to spend time outside. This provides another option for quiet time, fresh air, or relaxed social moments without needing to leave the property.
The outdoor area works as a practical extension of the home, supporting a more flexible daily routine. It gives participants another setting for rest, regulation, conversation, or a quiet change of environment.
For participants, this adds choice and comfort. For support teams, it creates another calm space that can be used as part of everyday wellbeing and routine.
High Physical Support Features
Support-Ready From Day One
15 Dove Avenue has been designed from the start to support High Physical Support requirements while still feeling like a real home. The single-level layout, step-free access principles, wide circulation requirements, accessible door hardware positioning, reinforced sanitary walls, slip-resistant flooring requirements, emergency power provision, and assistive technology readiness all support safer and more predictable daily living.
The home also includes fire sprinklers, smoke alarms in bedrooms and living areas, high-speed internet and Wi-Fi coverage provision, lockable windows, laundry provision, garage access, and practical storage. These details help the home work well for both participants and SIL providers over the long term.
The result is a home that supports accessibility, safety, and support delivery while still preserving warmth, privacy, and a genuine residential feel.
