FAQ

What is Shared Accommodation?

Who is it for?

Shared accommodation is for anyone aged 18 and over with a disability. Rocky Bay has a wide selection of locations and housing options, from high needs care to more independent living, and we work hard to find you the home that’s right for you, in every way. Not quite ready to move out full time? Rocky Bay Guest Houses offer short term respite when you’re looking for a break, or a means to trial living independently as you transition to supported care.

How do I choose a home?

When you contact us about our accommodation, we will discuss with you in detail about:

Your support requirements
Where you would like to live
and ideally who you would like to live with

We will then determine if we have any vacancies that you may find suitable.

If you decide you would like to explore these options, we will arrange a meeting with you to gain a more in depth understanding of yourself, your wants and needs.

At the end of the meeting, we will all decide whether to progress to the next stage to ensure the accommodation will meet all of your requirements and requests. Once agreed, a visit to the property and introduction to other residence and staff will be arranged.

What if there is nothing suitable available?

How do I make sure I have choice and control over my everyday life?

Who makes sure I am happy and that my support workers are performing well?

We believe it is very important to ensure that managers are accessible to you. Each house has a dedicated Team Leader who is responsible for everyday operations of your services. Team leaders are normally on site at least 2 days per week.

If you would prefer to talk to someone else, we have a Customer Engagement Team, who can be contacted 8am – 5pm, Monday – Friday.

We also recognise that sometimes things happen overnight or during a weekend, a Team Leader may not always be available. To cover for this, we have a dedicated team of After Hours Co-ordinators, who can be on site in less than an hour to deal with any issues that may arise. They also provide advice and support over the telephone.
