We, at OBSTEGY Disability Support Services, believe that community access is an integral part of the life of a participant with a disability, as it facilitates access to recreational activities, social events, and much needed medical appointments. It also allows one to develop skills and competencies necessary for them to live a fulfilling life. Our team is very experienced in this area and believes that community access enables individuals to have a sense of belonging, while at the same time increasing their self-esteem and the feeling being valued.

As the saying goes, there is no place like home. People in general, need a place that is safe and comfortable enough for them to call home. OBSTEGY Disability Support Services endeavours to provide such a safe and comfortable place in the form of supported independent living/homes (SIL). SIL enables individuals to live as independently as possible as well as build their skills through performing daily tasks, while been supervised by exceptionally skilled staff at OBSTEGY Disability Support Services. When deciding whether SIL is the best option for the participant, we explore the participant goals for their prospective home and living arrangements and the support they will require with daily tasks, so as to assist in living as independently as possible. We also offer short-term accommodation services (Respite Home) with experienced support workers who help with daily tasks and capacity building.

OBSTEGY Disability Support Services provides some community nursing services in clients’ homes. We have highly qualified and experienced Registered Nurses (RNs) who can take care of complex client healthcare needs such as acute and chronic wound care/ management, medication administration and management, complex bowel care/ management, urinary catheter management, nasogastric tube management as well as tracheostomy care/management. We also have an RN with 10 years of experience in the renal/kidney dialysis field. They can provide all the necessary care needed by clients who suffer from kidney failure and all the other ailments that are associated with it. In addition, our community nurses are well equipped to request specialist assistance for clients by referral to appropriate healthcare professionals, for ongoing management of health problems.
