Living in Shared Accommodation
Sharing a home can bring connection, companionship and greater independence — especially when the right support is in place.
At Perth Carers Group, we provide practical, respectful support to help people living in shared accommodation develop the everyday skills needed to live well with others, contribute to the household and feel more confident in daily life.
Our support workers assist people with disability to manage the routines and responsibilities that come with shared living, while encouraging independence, cooperation and a positive home environment.
We understand that living with others can sometimes bring challenges, and we are here to help make shared accommodation feel more comfortable, structured and successful for everyone involved.
Whether it is learning how to share responsibilities, follow routines, communicate with housemates or take part in everyday household tasks, our team provides support that is tailored, encouraging and focused on building confidence over time.
Support in shared living arrangements may include:
- assistance with shared meal planning and meal preparation
