Finding Holiday Disability Housing on the Sunshine Coast That Feels Like a Home Away From Home
Holidays are an opportunity for rest, rejuvenation, and creating fun memories while exploring new (or favourite) places. However, for those who have loved ones with a disability, the search for inclusive and accessible accommodation can be challenging and adds an extra layer of complexity to trip-planning.
Whether you’re visiting the Sunshine Coast for a weekend trip or taking a longer holiday, Lavender Co offers a range of disability homes on the Sunshine Coast, each tailored to specific needs and programs.
Inclusive disability accommodation that combines luxury, accessibility and support can be hard to come by. Everyone’s expectations and needs change while on vacation and finding disability housing that suits these desires can be difficult.
Fortunately, at Lavender Co we offer two short term programs for our guests, a Disability Day Program and our Short Term Accommodation service, allowing families to enjoy a worry-free trip with the knowledge that their loved one is in safe hands.
In this blog, we will provide valuable insight on both disability housing and day support options on the Sunshine Coast to help you plan and organise your next trip, making sure the whole family is cared for.
We will cover the difference between our Day Program and Short Term Accommodation services, the importance of choosing the right home away from home for your loved one as well as the range of experiences and adventures accessible to our guests through Lavender Co on the Sunshine Coast.
Day Program vs Short Term Accommodation
At Lavender Co, we understand that individuals with disabilities have diverse needs and preferences when it comes to receiving support and experiencing new adventures on holidays.
That’s why we offer both a Disability Day Program and Short Term Accommodation option, both tailored to cater to your loved one’s unique requirements while ensuring their safety, comfort and enjoyment.
Our Disability Day Program provides a fantastic opportunity for individuals who are after a day filled with fun activities and practical skill-building workshops. This allows you to enjoy exploring the Sunshine Coast at your own pace, while having the reassurance that your loved one is in good hands and enjoying their holiday just as much as you are.
When guests participate in our day programs, they not only receive chef-prepared meals but also engage in goal-oriented activities. Our dedicated care team takes pride in providing consistent and familiar support, ensuring that all needs are met and every guest feels heard and cared for.
Are you planning a longer holiday and require more extended support for your loved one? Our Short Term Accommodation(STA) is the perfect solution to your search for holiday disability homes on the Sunshine Coast.
At Lavender Co, we take pride in our range of beautiful and modern disability homes on the Sunshine Coast that have each been designed to feel like a home away from home. Our STA program allows our guests to enjoy a luxury space that will make their vacation feel all the more relaxing and rejuvenating.
Our Short Term Accommodation services are available for up to 14 days at a time and up to 28 days per year when approved as part of your loved one’s NDIS plan. We understand that all our guests are unique and different in their own right, which is why we take the time to identify our guests’ specific needs and abilities, selecting accommodation and matching them with compatible care team members and other like-minded guests, in cases of shared accommodation.
Whether it’s through our Disability Day Program or our Short Term Accommodation option, we strive to create an opportunity for you and your family to enjoy a stress-free planning process in the lead up to your vacation, allowing you to make the most out of your holiday.
The key to making your holiday worry-free: accommodating your loved one in a caring and inclusive environment
As a caregiver or family member, taking a break and enjoying some time away is essential for your own well-being and rejuvenation. However, leaving your loved one in the care of others requires trust and assurance that they will receive the support and care they deserve.
At Lavender Co, we understand this concern, and it is our top priority to provide a safe and inclusive environment for individuals with disabilities while their families take time to themselves. Our dedicated care team is extensively trained and experienced in providing personalised care, ensuring your loved one’s needs are met.
We take pride in building a caring and supportive community, allowing you to have the peace of mind that they are being looked after by professionals who are dedicated to their well-being. Not only will our STA allow you to achieve your own holiday goals, but it will enable your loved one to enjoy an independent experience away from you in a safe, fun environment.
During our Disability Day Programs or Short Term Accommodation, we go beyond basic care and strive to create meaningful experiences for our guests.
Our aim is to create a long-term relationship with families and caregivers. Even if you're visiting from out of state, we strive to offer your loved one an experience they won’t forget and hope to see them again on your next holiday!
