Brightwater’s Transitional Accommodation Program is for people with an acquired neurological disability or complex care needs following a hospital stay. It’s a sanctuary designed to help people with a permanent disability build the skills required for daily living routines.
Clients stay at Brightwater Marangaroo, which is located in a quiet residential community north of Perth. There are 23 rooms in four recently renovated houses where individuals live comfortably while transitioning from hospital to independent living or long-term supported accommodation.
Residents enjoy:
Brightwater Marangaroo clients arrive straight from the hospital and usually stay for a year or less. They receive support to rebuild daily living routines to help them move back to the community. Programs are developed by an interdisciplinary team of support workers and allied health and medical professionals, to ensure the best possible outcome for clients.
Each client works on their own goals to suit their individual challenges.
Brightwater is the only WA disability services provider with a dedicated Research Centre. We collaborate with national and international universities to find innovative solutions to improve the quality of the lives of people we care for, both in our residential accommodation and in their own home.
