Nature and community feel in North Ryde

About the home

Nestled in the secure surroundings of Macquarie Hospital, a group of four men share this home that balances calm moments and fun outings. They often head out for fishing trips, enjoy the local pool, and take part in community gatherings that bring everyone closer. Whether relaxing on the patio or planning a celebration, each housemate’s preferences guide the flow of life here.

Life in North Ryde

Daily routines are centred on what sparks each person’s interest. Fishing is a weekly highlight for some, while others look forward to group music therapy on Tuesdays or simply catching up over coffee in the backyard. This home is part of a wider Macquarie community of ten neighbouring houses, and everyone comes together for birthdays, holiday events, and potluck meals. From hosting barbecues to cheering on friends at local discos, there is always something to bring people together. Gardening sessions, seasonal festivities like Halloween or Easter egg hunts, and visits from the local ice cream truck all add extra touches of fun. Of course, families and friends are welcome any time and many visit often.

Support Model

We provide 24/7 Registered Nursing support, along with Senior Support workers and Assisting in Nursing staff who are trained to meet each person’s unique needs. Telehealth is available every Tuesday, and a GP comes by every Thursday to ensure everyone’s health and wellbeing remain a priority. Staff follow behaviour support plans tailored to individual preferences, and drop-in day support programs are available for added social and recreational opportunities. Weekly in-house music therapy sessions invite everyone to explore their creative side, and there are regular chances to participate in community events for those who wish to do so.
