Disability Care

Communicare has extensive experience in caring for children and adults with a wide range of physical and intellectual disabilities including Down’s syndrome, Motor Neuron Disease, Huntington’s, Parkinson’s and spinal injuries among others.  We also care for clients experiencing a variety of mental health problems ranging from schizophrenia to acquired brain injuries.

Our disability care team help maintain the dignity, health and independence of these clients by providing physical care, psychological nurturing and the possibility of living in independent living arrangements for as long as possible. Much of our disability care occurs over a medium to long-term basis and provides much needed social as well as professional support.

Communicare staff assist with activities of daily living, hygiene, feeding and meal preparation, light house-keeping duties, transport to and from healthcare facilities, companionship and prompting medication administration. Progress and any extra requirements are recorded to optimise quality of life.
