Accessibility
Wellman Home has upper and lower living zones, each with its own entry. Because the home is over more than one level, it may better suit participants whose mobility, support and safety needs are compatible with the layout.
Mobility, stair access, personal-care, sensory, communication, equipment and supervision needs are discussed individually before an inspection or placement decision. For suitable enquiries, a visit can be arranged to consider stairs, entrances and outdoor areas in person.
Indoor and outdoor spaces
The separate upper and lower zones create a flexible layout for personal space and individual routines within shared living. The home's elevated position offers leafy district views and a peaceful outlook.
Living areas, the kitchen, outdoor spaces and parking can be discussed during an inspection. How each area is used depends on household arrangements, participant needs, compatibility, funding and service capacity.
Local area and transport
The home sits in a peaceful, leafy part of Forestville near the edge of Garigal National Park, with natural surroundings for outdoor recreation. Everyday amenities include Forest Way Shopping Centre and Forestville's local shopping area, The Centre.
Walking routes, mobility needs and transport supports are assessed individually — we don't assume any amenity is within walking distance for every person.
Community and everyday life
Depending on each participant's interests and support arrangements, opportunities may include:
- Enjoying the leafy outlook and outdoor spaces
- Nearby parks and natural areas
- Local shopping and café outings
- Forest Way Shopping Centre and The Centre visits
- Community activities and social events
- Medical and allied-health appointments
- Meal planning, shopping and cooking
- Household routines and independent-living skills
- Recreational outings across the Northern Beaches
Activities are guided by each participant's preferences, consent, wellbeing, goals and support plan, and may change with choice, weather, availability, household routines and community programs.
Household atmosphere
Wellman Home is currently arranged as a mixed-gender supported shared household.
The home aims to be respectful, calm and inclusive — shared living with personal space, individual routines and independence. Compatibility is considered carefully, including communication preferences, routines, interests, support needs and comfort with a mixed household.
To protect residents' privacy, household information is discussed confidentially with suitable prospective participants and their chosen support network.
Detailed property information is shared through an appropriate enquiry and suitability discussion to protect residents' privacy, dignity and safety.
Support at this home
Informed Care Services provides 24/7 supervision and support at this home. Support arrangements are planned around each participant's individual needs, goals, routines and NDIS funding. We work collaboratively with participants and, with consent, their families, support coordinators and relevant health professionals to ensure supports are safe, respectful and appropriate.
Support may include assistance with personal care, medication support and supervision in accordance with individual plans and our procedures, meal preparation, household routines, appointments, community access and capacity-building goals. Informed Care Services provides 24/7 supervision and support, with a Registered Nurse on call 24/7.
Could this home be the right fit?
Wellman Home may suit a participant seeking a mixed shared-living environment in Forestville who values a peaceful setting, leafy outlook, personal space and the possibility of a more semi-independent daily routine. It may particularly suit someone whose mobility and support needs are compatible with a property over upper and lower levels.
Suitability is discussed individually and may depend on:
- Goals, routines and communication preferences
- Comfort with a mixed-gender household
- Mobility, stair access and accessibility requirements
- Personal-care, medication-support and supervision needs
- Preferences for privacy, shared living and personal space
- Compatibility with the current household
- Interest in semi-independent living within a supported household
- Location, transport and community-access preferences
- NDIS funding and support arrangements
- Preferred move timeframe
Availability, suitability, NDIS funding arrangements and service commencement are assessed individually. An enquiry does not guarantee placement or commencement of services.
