Empowering Group & Centre Activities With Personalised Support
A structured activity becomes an opportunity to connect, practise skills and make choices. It is for those participants who want to take part in structured activities delivered in a group or centre environment. These settings can provide opportunities to explore an array of interests, develop practical and social skills, and interact with other people in a supported environment.
Nashcare has an NDIS-approved support team at Seaford who provide assistance for group and centre activities. Our services can be tailored according to the participant’s abilities, interests, routines, and funded supports. The objective is to make activities accessible and meaningful for each participant. With the right approach, we ensure that group activities become opportunities to connect, learn, and grow.
How Does Nashcare Help in Accessing Group/Centre Activities?
Regular participation in familiar activities helps participants become more comfortable in group environments and gradually take a more active role. Nashcare caregivers help participants with activities like:
- Recreational sessions
- Arts and crafts
- Gardening
- Music
- Exercise and movement
- Games
- Social activities
- Group discussions
We strive to draw a distinction between attending just any activity and receiving disability-related assistance to participate. Our purpose of support is to help the participant be a part of the activity rather than simply placing them in the room.
Difference Between Group Activities & Centre-Based Activities
Group activities and centre-based activities are not identical. The setting may be shared, but the support can still be individualised. Group activities involve multiple participants taking part in a shared program or experience. These include:
- Group cooking
- Art sessions
- Exercise
- Games
- Social activities
- Group discussions
Centre-based activities take place at a designated centre or structured support environment. The centre may provide several different activities, including group sessions and activities involving more individualised assistance.
How Nashcare Supports Group/Centre Activities
Group/Centre Activities Assistance complement Community Participation, Life Skills Development, Daily Living Assistance, and Transport Assistance. The relevance of these services will depend on the individual’s needs and NDIS funding. Nashcare can tailor Group/Centre Activities Assistance around the participant’s:
- Mobility requirements
- Preferred routines
- Level of assistance required
Support workers can assist participants to communicate with others, participate in suitable tasks and navigate the centre environment. We encourage participants to make their own choices and remain involved in activities they can safely perform. This ensures support does not unnecessarily replace the participant’s own abilities. We extend our services to Adelaide, Victor Harbour, Port Pirie, Murray Bridge and surrounding areas in Seaford.
Absolutely; however, it’s important to check the support requirements, the activity environment, the provider’s capacity, and your funded supports. Participating in a group does not necessarily mean everyone must receive the same level of assistance.
You can communicate your preferences and concerns with our support provider at Nashcare. We always prioritise programs based on participant’s choice. Our experts will identify alternative activities rather than expecting everyone to participate in the same way.
Yes. Participants in the same group can have very different abilities, communication methods, mobility requirements and support needs. The type and level of assistance can therefore vary between individuals.
Look beyond attendance. Consider whether the activity is helping you practise relevant skills, develop confidence, explore interests, communicate with others, build social connections or work towards a specific goal identified in your NDIS plan.
