The Role of Improved Liveability in SDA Housing

Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) offers various design categories to meet the needs of individuals with disabilities. Among these, Improved Liveability SDA is tailored to those with sensory, cognitive, or intellectual impairments, providing a safe, accessible, and functional living environment.

At Paramount Disability Homes, we ensure that Improved Liveability properties meet and exceed NDIS standards while offering a comfortable, inclusive place to call home.

What Makes Improved Liveability SDA Unique?

Improved Liveability SDA is specifically designed with features that support sensory and cognitive needs. These homes include:

• Enhanced lighting and acoustics to create a calming environment.
• Contrasting colours and textures on walls, doors, and floors to aid navigation.
• Non-slip surfaces to minimise the risk of falls and injuries.
• Visual alarms and assistive technologies for residents with hearing impairments.
• Customisable sensory spaces to reduce overstimulation and foster relaxation.

These features are essential in ensuring safety, promoting independence, and enhancing the quality of life for residents.

Adjustable lighting -> Supports residents with visual impairments or sensory sensitivities.

Textured surfaces -> Improves navigation for individuals with cognitive impairments.

Every aspect of these homes is thoughtfully designed to provide an environment that fosters independence and security.

Who Benefits from Improved Liveability SDA?
