Efficient and compassionate caregivers can bring positive changes in the lives of people with disabilities. But it is important for both the carer as well as the person receiving the care to take a break from their usual routine to rejuvenate themselves. The National Disability Insurance Scheme provides funding for Short Term Accommodation (STA), including respite which enables eligible participants to live at a temporary residence away from their usual home for a brief duration. This is especially helpful for adults and senior participants as they can use this opportunity to socialise and engage in activities that they enjoy. Healthy social connections will help to reduce stress and enhance their mental health.
Short-Term Accommodation, including respite, is an NDIS-funded support which allows the participants to access the assistance of NDIS support workers during their short stay away from home. Through STA support, primary caregiving responsibilities are delegated to these support workers who will help the participants with their disability support needs. STA funding covers the cost of personal care, accommodation, food and assistance for activities that the participants want to explore. When it comes to adults and seniors, they have the chance to learn new skills without compromising on the quality of care that they receive. Learning new things and meeting new people will significantly boost their morale as well.
