409 Parnall Street

A Welcoming Centre for Everyday Connection

• The open-plan living and dining area creates a comfortable setting for meals, conversation and time with visitors.
• Its connection to the kitchen and covered alfresco makes it easy to move between everyday activities without feeling separated from the household.
• Generous circulation space accommodates wheelchair movement, while dimmable lighting and reverse-cycle air conditioning help keep the environment comfortable.
• The separate participant retreats add another layer of choice.
• Shared time can happen in the main living area, with a personal space close by whenever a quieter setting is preferred.

Room for Rest, Familiar Routines and Privacy

• Each participant suite combines a bedroom, built-in wardrobe, private ensuite and adjoining retreat.
• This arrangement offers more flexibility than a bedroom alone, with space to rest and a separate area for relaxing or enjoying favourite activities.
• The bedrooms allow room around the bed for movement and assistance.
• Structural and electrical provisions support future ceiling-hoist installation, allowing equipment to be considered around individual needs.

Private ensuites include

Step-free showers, accessible basins, slip-resistant flooring

• Reinforced bathroom walls accommodate assistance fittings, while the accessible layouts support personal care with dignity.
• Direct outdoor access from each retreat gives participants another place to enjoy fresh air without passing through the main living area.

Thoughtful Kitchen Details That Encourage Involvement

• The shared kitchen opens to the dining and living area, keeping meal preparation connected to household life.
• A height-adjustable work surface, wheelchair-accessible pantry and generous clearance around benches support a range of mobility needs.
• A side-opening wall oven, drawer-style dishwasher and easy-to-use cupboard handles make everyday tasks more manageable.
• Task lighting helps illuminate preparation areas, while accessible controls and fittings support participation where suitable.
• A separate laundry, linen cupboards and garage storage provide practical room for household essentials.
• From a SIL provider's point of view, the combination of shared facilities and distinct participant suites helps organise daily support while respecting personal space.

Overnight Assistance with Clear Personal Boundaries

• The dedicated OOA room is positioned near the front entry, separate from the participant bedrooms and retreats. It provides a base for overnight support, with a separate bathroom accessible from the common area.
• This layout keeps participant ensuites private while allowing support staff to remain nearby.
• Straightforward connections between the entry, shared spaces and participant suites make it easier to provide assistance throughout the home.

Outdoor Choices for Company or Quiet Time

• The covered alfresco connects directly to the main living area, creating a sheltered place for an outdoor meal, a conversation or a relaxed afternoon.
• Each participant retreat also opens to an individual outdoor sitting area.
• These additional spaces offer a more personal setting for fresh air and a change of scenery.
• Step-free transitions and slip-resistant outdoor surfaces support movement between the interior and adjoining outdoor areas, making outdoor time a natural part of daily life.
