Any level of intellectual disability potentially reduces a person’s ability to be involved in the overwhelming range of constructive, recreational and educational activities the general community takes for granted.

The overall lifestyle quality of those with an intellectual disability living in supported accommodation is directly proportional to the quality and integrity of the support service and its staff.

Having direct care support staff who are either “minders” or “carers”, means the difference between “looking at four walls” and having an expanding quality lifestyle.
