Helping people with disability find homes

Central Coast Ability Options participant John

Leading disability and employment services provider Ability Options has launched a campaign to help fill the housing gap for people living with disability on the Central Coast and throughout the state.

With continuing reports of low stock, the housing market remains problematic and specialist accommodation providers like Ability Options are supporting people with disability to find high-quality accommodation that offers choice while also being tailored to meet their needs.

To promote its suite of property vacancies in purpose-built and equipped homes, Ability Options has launched a campaign to showcase its accommodation options and expertly trained teams who are on hand 24/7 to provide support to residents.

Ability Options CEO Julia Squire said the campaign will help reduce the pressures faced by people living with disability searching for the right place to call home.

“Our teams work hard to support people living with disability who are looking for inclusive and accessible living options across NSW,” she said.

“We believe in our campaign message that Life’s better with Options, providing choice and expert service so people with disability can find new homes that are comfortable and designed with them in mind.

“As a long-standing accommodation services provider under the NDIS, our Supported Independent Living accommodation options give participants looking for long-term accommodation peace of mind and a place to call home.”

Central Coast resident John is 77 years of age and has a great sense of humour and a love of being active in the community.

Having found secure accommodation through Ability Options he is thriving.

John has a love for photography and all things royal and has an extensive collection of royal memorabilia which includes everything from magazines to biographical books.

He volunteers at his local Op Shop with a local church where he is encouraged to socialise with members of the community as well as other volunteers.

When John is at home, he loves to listen to his music while outside in the sun, participating in group craft activities, and is great practical joker who loves to prank both his housemates and his support workers.
