Short Term Respite Accommodation
Claire's Cottage operates out of a comfortable and homely, 3 bedroom house in the beautiful family suburb of Ferny Hills, North Brisbane. The house caters for up to 4 participants to sleep over, which allows the opportunity for groups of friends to attend together, maximising their enjoyment and your respite! Whether there are 1 or 4 guests, our supportive staff are available to them throughout their stay and will ensure they are comfortable and enjoying them selves by planning activities based on what they want to do... A relaxing night watching movies? easy! A trip to the market to collect ingredients for a night of cooking and eating? Even better! Our participants are always chomping at the bit to sleep over at Claire's Cottage because they love it so much!
- Comfortable & homely
- Supportive staff
- Individuals or groups
- Activities planned based on participants desire
Day Program: Life & Independent Living Skills
Our day program is centered around developing social, life and independent living skills. We do this through maximum involvement in the community, exposing our participants to day to day life experiences as well as exciting adventures. This ensures they are enjoying themselves while also developing important skills that will serve them as they become more independent. Listed below is a small spinet of activities that we do during our day program, and as with all Claire's Cottage initiatives - activities are always planned with our participants, ensuring that we are meeting their interests and that they are involved in our day to day operation. Our participants are always at the heart of what we do!
- Shopping and cooking
- Swimming lessons
- Health and fitness
- Public transport training
- Hygiene and beauty
- Cultural excursions (eg. Museums, Art Galleries, Theater performances)
Weekend Social & Community Activities
Our weekend program is primarily a focused on social interaction, allowing our participants to engage with their friends freely and comfortably, as all young adults should have the opportunity to do. The activities we plan are based solely on their interests, and gauged by conversations we have with them. A wonderful example is when Claire had a conversation with one of our participants about foods they enjoyed, he told how much he loved Mexican food so she asked if he would like to go to a Mexican restaurant one weekend with his friends. He was incredibly excited by this, and with that our tradition of visiting new restaurants and trying different cuisines every few weeks was born! See below for a small sample of the activities our participants have enjoyed and remember, we're open to organising any activity you're willing to try!
- Day trips and picnics (Brisbane & surrounds)
- Movies and bowling
- DJ Dance parties
- Horse riding
- BBQ's and games
- Themed restaurant nights
- Breakfast and Putt Putt
- Go Karting
- Weekends away
