Submission
I’ve lived here for 20 years, it’s good here. They take care of me. It’s a good place to be. The food is good, they clean, support workers take me out shopping. and
(staff) are very nice to me they both have a very open mind and are very direct and to the point. If I need something I can ask them. We get six meals a day - breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner and tea. There is a variety with fruit: mango, watermelon, strawberries. I have a single room with a fan and a TV that I saved up for and Public Trust helped me pay for. I am able to lock the door of my room. My room is kept clean from the staff cleaning it. I am on the Public Trust and I am happy with them. They help me with my allowance and I feel like I have enough money. There are sometimes misunderstandings with people who live here but it’s just talking. I don’t have any fights or misunderstandings, only other people. I feel safe here. I can go out and do things I want to do_ [like to go shopping, go to the salvos and chemist warehouse. I get taken out by the support workers that work here. I don’t know how much I pay to live here because the Public Trustee transfers rent straight to the office here. My clothes are washed every day by my support worker.
I want my submission… To be published, including the name of where I live but NOT MY
NAME
Kind regards,
Supported Accommodation Advocate
