Why We're the Best
Why We're the Best
We’re a dedicated team of locals helping you reach your goals through your N.D.I.S. plan. Our Support Assistants build real connections with clients.
One-on-One Support for People living with Disability
This can be in the home or community, and is based on individual need. It can include activities such as:
- Shopping
- Dining out
- Hobbies such as fishing or cooking
- Exercise such as the gym, swimming or walking
Group Based Activities
Our group centre, also know as 'The Cottage' is where we deliver our group based activities which encourage socialisation. Clients are welcome to do their own activities, take part in group activities, or a combination of both.
In Home Support
A Support Worker can come to your home to help with things such as cooking and meal preparation, house cleaning and personal care.
Short Term Accommodation
Also called 'respite', short term accommodation is where we provide support for a client to have a short time away from their usual home. This might be for a holiday or to stay with a Support Worker in the community.
Transport
Transport is available for social occasions or medical appointments.
BWNG has a small fleet of vehicles to be able to transport our clients safely, including a customised vehicle equipped with a wheelchair lift.
Meals on Wheels
A tasty range of meals are available in the home and 'The Cottage'. Our supplier, the Good Meal Co. cook and freeze nutritious meals for your convenience.
We also have hot, freshly-cooked meals Monday to Friday for delivery within the Gloucester community.
