Short Term
Accommodation
(Respite)
Short Term Accommodation (STA) is sometimes referred to as Respite and is funded through your NDIS Core Supports budget. When staying in STA with Pearson’s Farm there is no out of pocket costs, or hidden costs involved.
Respite is designed to give your informal supports, family and carers, a time to rest and recharge while you have the
opportunity to:
-
Develop skills and build confidence in a safe and structured way.
-
Do activities and meet new people.
-
Try new foods and food experiences.
-
Visit or stay at one of our farms.
-
Build independent skills to prepare you for moving out of home.
When staying with Pearson’s Farm you have a range of opportunities that help to meet your NDIS goals and build your skills. Each stay is tailored to your likes, interests and goals. We work with you or your supports to come up with a STA plan that meets your needs and is tailored for you. We have a team of experienced staff that work with you to make your STA stay a unique and enjoyable experience. You can choose to have 1:1 supports or we can match you with other participants and you can have a shared stay. This helps to preserve your funding while giving you an opportunity to meet new friends and have fun together.
These are some STA options:
Pearson’s Farm at Myponga
Surround yourself with the beauty of nature when you stay on our 450acre property at Myponga. There is a range of on-site activities including: hiking and nature walks; meeting our cows and horses; being a farmer; seeing all the wildlife including a mob of Kangaroos; and fishing in one of our many dams. At night have a campfire and use our telescope to see the stars and learn about the different constellations.
Myponga farm is also ideally situated, you can go 4WD or tour the Fleurieu peninsula in a hotted up mustang or super car. If you enjoy fishing we can offer a 2hour fishing trip and fingers crossed you can catch a fish for dinner. A day trip out could include visiting walking around Myponga reservoir on the accessible walking track, you can visit the look out. A special treat that we love is a fish and chips lunch on Myponga beach, before exploring more of the Fleurieu peninsula.
