Accessibility

Badajoz Home is a single-storey property, which may suit participants who prefer to avoid internal stairs as part of their everyday living environment.

Accessibility, mobility, personal-care, sensory, communication and equipment requirements are discussed individually before any placement decision. Participants, families and support coordinators are encouraged to speak with Informed Care Services about specific requirements before arranging an inspection.

A home visit can be arranged for suitable future enquiries so participants can consider the entry, internal layout, bedrooms, bathroom arrangements, shared living spaces and outdoor areas in person.

Any assistive technology, equipment, modifications, supervision or individual support requirements are considered on a case-by-case basis.

Indoor and outdoor spaces

Badajoz Home offers a practical single-level layout with shared living spaces for everyday routines, meals, relaxation and connection. Residents can enjoy common areas while also having their own bedroom and personal space.

The home's large leafy setting provides outdoor space for fresh air, relaxation and social time. The outdoor BBQ area offers a relaxed place for shared meals, household gatherings and small social activities.

Use of outdoor areas and BBQ activities is managed in line with individual support needs, household arrangements, safety planning, supervision requirements and relevant policies.

To protect the privacy and safety of people living in the home, detailed property information is shared through an appropriate enquiry and suitability discussion.

Near health services, amenities and community connections

Badajoz Home is located in North Ryde, a well-connected area with access to local health services, shopping, cafés, parks, public transport and wider community facilities.

Macquarie Hospital is the closest major hospital precinct to the home. It is located in North Ryde on Wicks Road, and the campus can also be accessed via Twin Coxs and Badajoz Roads. Official hospital information lists bus routes 533, 286, 287, 288, 297 and 506 as stopping along Wicks, Coxs and Badajoz Roads.

The North Ryde location also provides access to local shops, cafés, parks, medical appointments and the broader Macquarie Park and Ryde area. Participants can be supported to access appointments, shopping, community activities and recreation in line with their individual goals and support arrangements.

Community and lifestyle opportunities

Badajoz Home supports residents to build a meaningful everyday life based on their own interests, preferences and goals.

Residents may choose to take part in group activities with participants from other Informed Care Services homes. These activities offer opportunities to build friendships, enjoy shared experiences and remain connected beyond the household.

Depending on individual interests, preferences, goals and support arrangements, activities may include:

• BBQ lunches and shared outdoor meals
• Social gatherings with participants from other Informed Care Services homes
• Café visits, local shopping and everyday errands
• Parks, recreation and outdoor activities
• Bowling, movies, community events and local outings
• Pioneer Clubhouse visits and community programs
• Dog-walking outings
• Beach and Northern Beaches day trips
• Celebrations and seasonal activities
• Meal planning, shopping and cooking
• Everyday household routines and capacity-building activities
• Medical, allied-health and other appointments

All activities are optional. Participation is guided by each participant's preferences, consent, wellbeing, goals, support plan and current availability. Activities may change depending on weather, household routines, staffing, venue availability and individual support needs.

Household atmosphere

Badajoz Home is currently arranged as a supported shared home for male NDIS participants.

The household aims to provide a calm, respectful and welcoming environment where men can enjoy companionship, shared everyday life and social opportunities while also maintaining privacy, personal space and choice over their own routines.

The home may suit a participant who values a male household, consistent support, outdoor space and a quieter leafy environment with convenient access to health services.

Informed Care Services considers household compatibility carefully. This may include communication preferences, lifestyle interests, routines, personal boundaries, support needs and each participant's comfort with the household arrangement.

To protect the dignity and privacy of residents, we do not publish names, photographs, health information, individual support needs or other personal details about people living in the home. Relevant household information is discussed confidentially with suitable prospective participants, families, guardians and support coordinators.
