Our Homes

Two Brand New Custom Built Homes

Both our houses have been purposely built for respite care in mind, our modern 5 bedroom homes have been built identical to support the transition of clients from our under 18 home to our over 18 home, we have chosen to do this to support our Autistic clients and clients who are challenged by change adjust from Aurora to Orion.

Both of our air conditioned homes have modern contemporary look and feel with the highest standard of safety.

Each client has their own private room fitted with the latest safety features and appliances, all bedrooms have their own enclosed flat screen TV with multimedia connections accessible via a special hub and modern furnishings to ensure our clients are cared for in comfort.

All bedrooms have built in wardrobes for personal storage.
