A High Physical Support SDA Home with Private Ensuite Living
Private Participant Ensuites | OOA Included | Breakout Room / Second Living
4/39 Serene Terrace, Drysdale 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 a highly accessible, support-ready home that still feels warm, settled, and comfortable to live in every day.
The home supports two participants, with each person provided with their own bedroom and private ensuite. A dedicated Onsite Overnight Assistance (OOA) room is included so support can be nearby when required, while still allowing participant spaces to remain private and separate.
The layout has been carefully planned to support independence, privacy, mobility, and daily comfort. Step-free access, accessible internal circulation, future ceiling hoist provision, emergency power solutions, assistive technology readiness, and accessible kitchen and bathroom design are all built into the home from the beginning. This is a home designed to support real daily living, not just compliance.
Main Living Area
Open Space for Everyday Routine
The open-plan living and dining area sits at the centre of the home and connects naturally with the kitchen and outdoor area. This gives participants a shared space for meals, relaxing, visitors, and everyday routines, while still allowing enough room for support to be provided respectfully when needed.
The kitchen is positioned directly beside the living and dining area, creating a practical daily hub. The design includes accessible kitchen features such as an adjustable-height island bench, wheelchair-accessible pantry provision, accessible benchtop areas, task lighting, and practical appliance placement.
This shared area is designed to feel residential and easy to live in. It supports participants to stay involved in everyday activities such as preparing meals, spending time with others, or moving between indoor and outdoor spaces with greater confidence.
The additional breakout room / second living area gives the home another important layer of flexibility. It can be used as a quieter retreat, a second lounge, a space for regulation, or simply somewhere to step away from the main shared living area when needed. In a shared SDA home, this kind of extra space can make daily routines feel calmer and more manageable.
Participant Suites
Privacy with Support Built In
Both participant bedrooms are designed as proper private spaces within the home. Each bedroom includes built-in robe storage and is positioned with nearby access to its own participant ensuite, giving each person a stronger sense of privacy, routine, and independence.
The bedrooms are planned to support High Physical Support requirements, including practical circulation around bedroom furniture and future ceiling hoist provision. This gives participants and support teams more flexibility over time, especially if mobility or transfer needs change.
Having two separate participant bedrooms with private ensuites is one of the strongest features of this home. It allows participants to share a home while still having their own personal space, their own bathroom, and a layout that supports dignity in daily routines.
Ensuite Bathrooms
Personal Care Made Easier
Each participant bedroom is supported by its own ensuite. This helps reduce the pressure of shared bathroom use and gives each participant a more private and respectful setting for personal care.
The ensuites are designed with accessibility in mind, including step-free shower areas, accessible toilet, shower and basin arrangements, reinforced sanitary walls for future fittings, and slip-resistant wet area flooring.
These bathroom spaces are intended to support safer routines without feeling clinical. They allow support workers to assist where required, while helping participants maintain privacy, dignity, and control over their daily care.
Kitchen, Dining and Daily Living
Practical Design for Real Use
The kitchen connects directly with the living and dining area, making the home feel open, functional, and easy to move through. This connection supports everyday routines such as cooking, eating, socialising, and relaxing without the home feeling crowded or difficult to navigate.
The kitchen includes accessible design features that support High Physical Support living, including an adjustable-height island bench, accessible benchtop provision, wheelchair-accessible pantry provision, task lighting above work areas, and slip-resistant kitchen flooring.
The living and dining area provides a comfortable shared space with room for daily movement and support. It has been planned to make everyday life easier for participants while also giving SIL providers a clear and practical environment for consistent support delivery.
Onsite Overnight Assistance (OOA) Room
Support Nearby, Privacy Protected
The home includes a dedicated OOA room so overnight support can be provided when required. The OOA arrangement supports both participant bedrooms, giving participants reassurance that help can be nearby while still maintaining a clear separation between participant living areas and support spaces.
The OOA room is supported by a separate carer ensuite, which helps make overnight and daily support operations more practical. Its position near the entrance and service side of the home allows support workers to be present without sitting directly within the main participant living spaces.
This layout helps protect privacy while still making the home practical for SIL providers. Participants have their own bedrooms, their own ensuites, shared living space, outdoor access, and a support arrangement that is close but not intrusive.
Outdoor Living
Fresh Air Without Leaving Home
The home includes a main outdoor area connected to the living space, along with participant courtyard areas positioned near the bedroom side of the home. This gives participants more than one way to access outdoor space, whether they want fresh air, quiet time, or a change of environment.
The outdoor areas have been planned with accessible movement in mind, including step-free access principles and practical surfaces. The main outdoor area gives the shared living space a natural extension, while the courtyard areas provide more private outdoor options closer to the participant bedrooms.
The home also includes practical external features such as a service yard, clothesline area, rainwater tank, bin enclosure, and dedicated storage. These details help the property function well day to day without interfering with the main participant living areas.
High Physical Support Features
Accessibility Built Into the Home
This home has been designed from the start to support High Physical Support SDA requirements while still feeling like a comfortable, residential home.
The single-level layout supports easier movement through the home, with step-free access, level internal transitions, wide internal circulation, accessible door hardware positioning, and accessible connections between participant bedrooms, ensuites, kitchen, living areas, laundry, outdoor areas, and support spaces.
The home also includes important High Physical Support provisions such as future ceiling hoist readiness to participant bedrooms, emergency power solutions, whole-home internet and Wi-Fi coverage provision, participant-to-support communication system provision, smoke alarms in bedrooms and living spaces, fire sprinklers, and emergency evacuation planning requirements.
The result is a home that supports independence and safety in a practical way. It is designed to help participants move through their day with greater confidence, while giving SIL providers a layout that supports safe, consistent, and respectful care.
