The Sylvanvale Foundation aims to provide accommodation services that allow people with disabilities to live as independently as possible, broaden their horizons, while cultivating lifelong friendships.

what’s the benefit of living in a sylvanvale home?

We believe experience counts and like to provide opportunities to learn and develop new skills in a safe and secure environment. Every resident assists in preparing meals, shopping, cleaning and tending to the gardens. Each resident has their own room that can be furnished and decorated to their own taste.

We also offer a wide variety of in-house programs including computer skills, budgeting, catching transport, pursuing recreational and social interests. Our trained staff support residents in all areas and help foster confidence and expand life experiences.

what are the houses like?

Houses are comfortable, well-maintained, well resourced, offer specialist equipment and most are located close to transport and local services. There are a variety of home situations available including:

• Group homes
• Community living
• Disability Housing and Support Initiative (DHASI)
• Specialist accommodation
• Independent living with drop-in support
• Adult respite service
