Many Members well know the particular Sunnyfield service they currently use to benefit their disabled family member, e.g. Accommodation or Employment. Quite a few families already use multiple services but some may not be aware of the full range of extra help they may be entitled to ask for.
As a case in point my family found out first about "Aged Parent Carer" respite then more recently "Life Choices - Self Managed Community Participation" and these two programs now provide money we use to help our plans to give our son "Independent Living" so he can when the time comes survive our absence without becoming a crisis case (for himself, his siblings and ADHC).
Sunnyfield has, at our suggestion, now added an excellent comprehensive list of Community Services' different programs around the state. It is on Sunnyfield's web site here but a copy is also provided here. If you would like to know more, and see if you might be eligible, give Sunnyfield a call and ask for help.
