A Place to Call Home: Supported Independent Living at Brighton
At estara, supported independent living isn’t just about having a roof over your head, it’s about creating a life filled with connection, freedom, and community. Just ask Paul, who welcomes us into his home in Brighton with a smile and a cup of tea.
‘Welcome to my house at Brighton. It's cup of tea time!’, Paul says, as Marty, his support worker of over twelve years, pours the tea. ‘Careful, it's hot,’ Marty adds with a grin. Their easy rapport speaks volumes about the trust and friendship that grows in spaces like this.
Marty reflects on his time in the industry: ‘This work is all about trust.’ That trust is the foundation of estara’s approach, support that’s consistent, respectful, and empowering.
Paul’s life at Brighton is full of independence. ‘I'm lucky enough to have my own vehicle, so I always feel freedom. I can go where I want, whenever I want.’ That sense of autonomy is central to supported independent living. It’s not just about care, it’s about choice. While not everyone may have access to their own car, Brighton is well-connected with nearby public transport and access taxis, making it easy to get out and about, whether it’s a trip to the beach, medical appointments, the shops, or catching up with friends.
‘The Brighton Huddle’, as Paul calls it, is more than just a group of homes. ‘We're very inclusive. The support workers here are great. Everyone supports each other. We all support Paul, and Jai, who lives next door. It's a great community!’ It’s a place where neighbours become friends, and support is always close by.
Paul sums it up simply: ‘I love working here. It's great. It's just like rocking up, seeing your friends.’
