“I wish to thank all the Team members of Living Communities who have worked tirelessly to support my son and our family through the trials and tribulations of the teen years.

What sets you apart from other service providers is your passion for person centred care, not just covering the shifts of care but matching the workers to the person. My son has gone from being a recluse and trusting no one with the belief that people were here just to get paid, to eagerly asking when his support person is coming as they show up every week and go above and beyond to build that connection that my son so desperately seeks.

Living Communities doesn’t just acknowledge the goals on the client’s plan, they absorb them and work with you and your allied health team to identify what their support workers need to provide to aid the participant to reach them. They meet the participant where they are at, seek advice and strategies from the allied health team when required to identify how to support to move the participant towards achieving their goals.

Above all for me as my son’s guardian, Living Communities has listened without judgement and with compassion, they have let me have a voice and taught me that it is one that is necessary and must be heard.

Through having their support, we have managed to move through family crisis and developed my son’s independence and confidence to accept himself and see himself as capable with a place in this world.”

Living Communities’ CEO Benjamin has been a big part in James’ journey from the time he engaged with Living Communities, he works with James regularly, and enjoys the time spent with him.

“Having seen James develop from being extremely disengaged with his supports when he started with us and watching him grow and develop has been a true joy. He now actively participates in community access activities including going out for Sushi with his support workers, instead of just getting take out. James’ supports have allowed him to enjoy more of what life has to offer, and we have seen a remarkable improvement in James’ connections with others.”

The team at  Living Communities are beyond proud of the progress and development we have seen in James, and even through some of his more challenging phases our team of dedicated Support Workers and Key Workers have stuck by him and his family to now see amazing growth and development from him.
