Gymea, NSW

Five bedrooms are available across a modern three-bedroom house and separate two-bedroom apartment in a quiet residential street in Gymea. Both are single-storey and designed for people with high physical support needs, with accessible features and separate living spaces that support independence, privacy and time with others.

How support works

The home and apartment are designed to support people with higher physical support needs, including people who use mobility equipment or require assistance with daily care.

Support is tailored to each person’s individual needs, goals and routines, with the option to enjoy their own space or spend time with housemates and take part in shared activities.

Home in Place is the SDA provider.

Living arrangement

The property includes a three-bedroom house and a separate two-bedroom apartment, each with its own entrance.

The house has three generous bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, a bath, lounge room, large kitchen and dining area, walk-in storage and a sensory room. The dining area opens onto a covered verandah and alfresco space. Ceiling hoists are installed in the bedrooms and bathroom.

The apartment has two generous bedrooms, one bathroom and an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area. It also has a covered balcony off the living area and ceiling hoists in the bedrooms and bathroom.

Landscaped gardens and indoor and outdoor spaces give people options to enjoy quiet time, welcome family and friends or spend time with housemates. There is level street access to both the house and apartment, as well as a lock-up garage. The backyard and shed are accessed by stairs.

Gymea Village is around four minutes away, with shops, cafes and everyday services nearby. Gymea railway station and buses are also close, along with Westfield Miranda, Cronulla Beach, the Royal National Park, Sutherland Hospital and local medical centres.
