About the Vacancy
Number of Vacancies = 2
There are two vacancies in this home, suited to either male or female aged between 50 and 65 with mild-moderate disabilities and/or Mental health support needs. The current resident is a 66 year old male who attends Day Programs on weekdays and enjoy spending time out and about in the community. The current resident likes history, going out for lunch or dinner, going to the theatre or any show. He prefers his own company with staff so a roommate who also enjoys their own company would be best suited for this vacancy. It is very important that the new resident has non-aggressive behaviours to maintain peace in this household.
