Supported Accommodation

Individual living with Nulsen

In cases where a person prefers to live on their own in a Nulsen home but requires support for some daily tasks, the Nulsen team are ready to assist.

Depending on your needs, we can provide support at set times during the day. This might include help getting ready for work in the morning, preparing meals in the evening, or other general household tasks so you can gain or maintain your independence.

While all Nulsen homes have been thoughtfully designed, we can arrange for specialist modifications to suit your abilities and goals, including hoists, ramps, handles, etc., to make your house your own.

Our therapy services can provide occupational therapy, physiotherapy, speech pathology and positive behaviour support, based on your plan.

We support young people and older people; people who need high-level care, and people who need less support, but assistance outside the home.

You’ll find Nulsen shared living homes across the Perth metropolitan area. Generally, three or more people share a home. Quality, 24/7 care is provided by a skilled team of disability support workers who help those they support to live the life they want.

Depending on the need, our disability support workers might assist people with personal care, communication, attending appointments, learning social and practical skills, going to work, or socialising.

Each person has their own bedroom, participates in the running of their home as they are able, and is encouraged to maintain close relationships with family and friends.

Depending on what you choose with your plan, our therapy services can provide occupational therapy, physiotherapy, speech pathology and positive behaviour support.

Our multidisciplinary team can help you to meet your goals, take part in activities, be out and about, develop social skills to make friends, stay healthy, improve your independence at home, or exercise.

At home, Nulsen’s occupational therapists help people to expand everyday skills, such as personal care, cooking, and home activities to increase their independence. For some people with a physical disability, they help with seating and positioning, recommend and arrange equipment, and even home modifications to make life easier.

Physiotherapists at Nulsen will assess your 24-hour postural care needs and develop programs to improve your mobility and freedom. We can train your team to lift and help you (manual handling) and suggest the best equipment to support your independence.

To help you be part of your local community, our occupational therapists use the latest therapy techniques for transport, accessible community activities, and along with the speech pathologists, help you to develop the social skills to make friendships and get along.

Our physiotherapists can train support workers to safely support you to take part in many fun community activities, such as working out at the local gym with a tailored exercise program, swimming, horse riding, trike riding and surfing.

Nulsen speech pathologists are experts in helping you to communicate your needs, wants and feelings with others. We can help you to develop your speech, understanding, reading and language, reading and writing, social skills, expressing yourself, and understanding others.

Our speech pathologists can help with alternative and augmentative communication, such as Key Word Sign, visual communication aides, and technological solutions to give you a voice and help with understanding what is happening from day to day.

Our speech pathologists also work closely with the occupational therapy and positive behaviour support team to help you achieve your communication goals.

Our therapy team are qualified to provide special equipment for your home and to help you get out in the community. Motorised and manual wheelchairs, commodes, shower chairs, specialised positioning equipment, home modifications, custom built equipment, orthoses, exercise equipment and electronic communication aides can all be provided through Nulsen Therapy. We can advise you on the latest technology, such as smart homes to increase your independence.
