Moving into an Edenbridge Living home is a life-changing experience for my brother, who has an intellectual disability. The 1-bedroom villa gives him the independence he craved but still with support available and friends living next door. The Edenbridge team's dedication to their residents' comfort is evident in every detail of their homes.

As a support coordinator, my primary concern is to find accommodation that not only ensures the safety and comfort of my clients but also enriches their lives. Edenbridge Living has been a remarkable partner in this regard. It's a relief to know that such a dedicated provider is just a call away.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is SDA?

SDA (Specialist Disability Accommodation) is purpose-built housing for NDIS participants with high support needs. These homes feature specialized designs to enhance independence and facilitate care. Funded by the NDIS, SDA provides eligible individuals with tailored living environments to improve their quality of life.

What are the four SDA design categories?

There are four distinct SDA design categories: Improved Liveability, Fully Accessible, High Physical Support, and Robust.

How is SDA funded?

SDA, a part of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), is funded by the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) for eligible participants. The NDIS pays SDA providers directly for specialized housing costs. Residents contribute with rent, usually from their Disability Support Pension and Commonwealth Rent Assistance. This combination covers the total cost of SDA accommodation.

Who is eligible for SDA accommodation?

To be eligible for SDA accommodation, an individual, typically aged between 18 and 65, must have extreme functional impairment or very high support needs and be approved for SDA funding in their NDIS plan.

How long does the application process take?

The timeline can vary depending on individual circumstances, including the availability of suitable accommodations and the completeness of your application.

What if my application for SDA accommodation is denied?

You can request a review of the decision through the NDIS. It’s also beneficial to consult with your NDIS planner or a local area coordinator for further guidance and to explore alternative solutions.

Can I choose where I live?

After reviewing the available enrolments and vacancies within suitable properties for SDA accommodation, you can select your accommodation based on its location, type, and provider.

Can I move to another SDA accommodation?

Yes, you can move to another SDA accommodation if your needs change or if you find a more suitable option. However, this requires a reassessment of your eligibility and needs.

What kind of support can I expect in SDA accommodation?

Support varies by accommodation but can include on-site care, access to therapy services, community activities, and assistive technologies.
