Bonython Way

At the end of 2014 it was all systems go on Bonython Way, with the launch of Mind Housing's Brighton North, followed by people supported by Minda moving into their new accommodation.

Manager Brighton North, Lisa Feder and her team, along with Developmental Educators from Minda’s Southern Disability Support, have been helping people feel at home in their new accommodation, which has included the compilation of personalised transition books.

“The residents were involved in picking fabrics and making choices about the types of furniture they needed and wanted, so they were very excited to see the items arriving, pieces that really reflect the personalities of the individuals.”

There has been great feedback from the new residents, and sisters Susan and Wendy Knight say they have had a very positive experience moving into their new apartment.

Wendy says, “It’s feeling good living here. The apartment is really big - lovely and quiet”. She continues; “My favourite room is my bedroom. You can hear the birds in the trees.”

Wendy also says she likes doing her own washing, while Susan enjoys cooking dinner with her sister. Susan says, “It is very good here. It was easy to adjust to living here. Staff are helpful.”

“My favourite room is my bedroom - it is easy to make the bed.”

Congratulations to all residents!
