Supporting families and carers
At Caring Lotus, we recognise that families and carers play a vital role in supporting NDIS participants to engage with their community. Our approach focuses on working collaboratively with families to ensure our support services enhance existing care arrangements and contribute positively to everyone's quality of life.
We prioritise clear, consistent communication with families and carers, providing regular updates on community participation progress and achievements. Our experienced team works to understand your family's routines and preferences, offering flexible scheduling that accommodates family commitments while maintaining consistency in support delivery.
Safety and peace of mind are paramount, which is why we maintain strict safety protocols for all community activities and ensure you have access to emergency support when needed. We assign consistent support workers who become familiar faces to both participants and their families, helping to build trust and understanding over time.
We welcome family feedback and actively involve carers in planning and adjusting support arrangements. Our goal is to create a supportive partnership that helps NDIS participants thrive in their community activities while giving families confidence in the quality of support being provided.
