Clarke Home

Accessibility features

The main home at Clarke Home is single storey, which may suit participants who prefer to avoid internal stairs as part of their everyday living environment.

The property also includes a separate granny flat at the rear. Accessibility, mobility, personal-care, sensory, communication and equipment needs must be considered individually in relation to both areas of the property.

Participants, families and support coordinators are encouraged to discuss specific requirements with Informed Care Services before arranging an inspection. A home visit can be arranged for suitable enquiries so participants can consider the entry, internal layout, bedrooms, bathroom arrangements, shared living spaces, outdoor areas and the main-home and granny-flat layout in person.

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

Indoor and outdoor features

Clarke Home offers a spacious residential setting with a single-storey main home, shared indoor living spaces and a separate granny flat at the rear of the property.

The property also includes outdoor space for fresh air, relaxation and everyday household activities.

The separate main home and granny flat layout may provide additional flexibility for personal routines, privacy and shared living. The use of each area will be discussed individually as part of the suitability and matching process.

Current information about bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen facilities, shared areas, outdoor spaces, parking and the use of the main home and granny flat can be discussed through an appropriate enquiry and inspection process.

Local area, transport and amenities

Clarke Home is located in West Ryde, a well-connected residential area with access to shops, cafés, public transport, parks, community facilities and wider Ryde services.

The property is close to West Ryde Station and local bus connections, with Top Ryde Shopping Centre, Meadowbank TAFE and ferry services in the wider area. Individual participants should assess their own mobility, support needs and travel arrangements before relying on walking routes or public transport.

West Ryde provides convenient access to shopping, medical and allied-health appointments, local cafés, parks, community programs and recreational activities. Participants can be supported to access these opportunities in line with their individual goals, preferences and support arrangements.

Community and lifestyle opportunities

Clarke Home will support participants to build a meaningful everyday life based on their individual interests, choices and goals.

The West Ryde location offers opportunities for local shopping, cafés, community activities, parks, appointments and recreational outings. The household's shared activities will be shaped with residents as the household arrangement is established.

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

• Local café visits and shopping
• Parks, walking routes and outdoor recreation
• Community programs and social outings
• Medical, allied-health and other appointments
• Meal planning, grocery shopping and cooking
• Everyday household routines and independent-living skill development
• Recreational activities across West Ryde, Meadowbank, Ryde and surrounding areas
• Personal hobbies, interests and activities chosen by the participant

Activities are optional and 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

The household arrangement at Clarke Home is currently being established.

Informed Care Services will carefully consider household compatibility before confirming the home's gender arrangement and matching participants to the available vacancies. This includes considering communication preferences, lifestyle interests, routines, personal boundaries, support needs, goals and each participant's preferences for shared living and personal space.

The home is intended to provide a respectful, welcoming and stable environment where residents can enjoy the benefits of shared everyday life while maintaining privacy, choice and individual routines.

The flexible main-home and granny-flat layout may be particularly valuable for participants who would like a balance of connection and personal space within a supported home environment.

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