Building independence and social skills with short stays away from home, in a safe and supported setting.
Previously known as respite care, Short Term Accommodation and Assistance for adults is all about helping you learn new skills so that, one day, you can live more independently. For children, the focus is on social development and having fun. For families and carers, it’s a short break from their daily routine.
Whether your goal is to learn new skills, meet new people, or enjoy a short break, this supportive environment is the ideal place to start.
In fact, most people who stay in our short-term accommodation want to come back again and again.
Your stepping-stone to independent living
Short-term accommodation is a great option if you have a goal of living independently, but don’t feel ready to make the big move just yet.
By spending short stays with us, you can:
- Learn skills you might not acquire in a day program, at school or through in-home support, including living with others
- Tailor your support plan to meet your goals, such as learning to share, learning to cook, or socialising with others
To ease the transition, you can also book your stay at the same time as friends. Our short-term accommodation is available for people with physical, intellectual or multiple disabilities.
Scope has a number of well-equipped homes for short-term stays throughout Victoria, for both children and adults.
