Community Support Services for Disability
Get the support to attend social and recreational activities, meet new people and enjoy an enriched life.
We’re here to accompany and support you now and in the long term.
Attending Community and Wellbeing Activities
We understand the importance of social interaction and community participation when creating a fulfilling life. We also understand you might need some support to find and attend activities beneficial to your health and wellbeing.
What would you like to do more of? What would you love to try? Want to start doing things differently? We’re here to make it happen!
Just to name a few of the things our clients enjoy the most:
- Disability-friendly group fitness and team sports
- Outdoor group activities like walking and hiking
- Community gardening and local groups
- Hobby meetups, classes and workshops
- Clubs where they meet people with common interests
With our support you’ll grow your self-esteem, confidence and social skills so you will feel more comfortable going out more often. We’ll accompany you as often as you wish, and if you want to eventually attend alone, we can help you do that.
Plan Other Ways to Spend Your Time
Creating your own schedule allows you to plan activities based on your mood, interests and availability. This promotes independence as you choose where to go, what to do and whether to do your own thing alone or ask others to join you.
Our clients like to create schedules with a mix of activities such as:
Going to the gym and keeping fit
Visiting the zoo, museums and art galleries
Going to the movies, live music, the ballet and the theatre
Bike riding, hiking and other solo outdoor activities
Using the community library and recreational centre
Attending sporting events like footy and cricket
Participating in charity events you’re passionate about
Going to community markets and live shows
Enrolling into a course to learn new skills
Volunteering or doing paid work
We’ll ask you what you’d like to do, when, where and we’ll help you do it. Because life is more interesting when your schedule motivates you.
What our clients say
Nadezhda Raph works in collaboration with me…and boy, does she know how to assist in a person-centered way.
I had 25 years of professional experience as an Evaluator and Trainer across the Disability Sector in WA before I was diagnosed with my own neurological disability.
I knew a LOT about the sector and NDIS…however, becoming a Participant was a very stressful journey, complex beyond belief, traumatising, and de-valuing in many, many ways.
The Support Coordination offered by Mirrors Care took the sting out of it. Nadezhda Raph works in collaboration with me, making me feel calmer…and boy, does she know how to assist in a person-centered way.
She is innovative, patient, empathic, kind. Other NDIS personnel could learn a lot by following the example set by Nadezhda, who goes the extra mile!
‘After moving to Mirrors, my son has a beautiful home and a fantastic life…..’
‘Before my son moved into Mirrors Care accommodation, he was extremely unhappy.
He was mismatched with his flatmates, had many behavioural issues, and a very ordinary life.
After moving to Mirrors, he has a beautiful home and a fantastic life.
In 18 months, he’s only had one or two behavioural issues. He gets on extremely well with his flatmate and is always happy.
I can rest easy knowing he is cared for properly and given a great life.’
‘It’s a pleasure to see my aunt so well-groomed and cared for and above all, extremely happy.’
‘Since coming to Mirrors Care, my aunt has great community access and is always out and about enjoying her life the way she should.
She always looks lovely with her earrings and nail polish; her hair is always immaculate.
It’s a pleasure to see her so well-groomed and cared for and above all, extremely happy.’
‘I came for a short stay and never left. It feels like home — somewhere I can be me.….’
‘I came to Mirrors on Respite in February and enjoyed my stay so much; I’ve never left.
They adapted my home to work for me, and I’m still here today.
There is a wonderful feeling of family living here.
I consider this to be one of the most contented and happiest times of my life.
