Onsite Shared Supports (OSS) offers additional support to your scheduled support services, providing 24/7 assistance in your Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA).
Aruma’s Onsite Shared Supports (OSS) offers flexible shared support services to individuals living independently within a clustered SDA environment, such as apartment complexes or housing precincts.
Need help getting ready, reheating a meal, an extra set of hands for personal care, hoisting, or just a quick check-in for peace of mind? OSS has you covered – 24/7.
OSS is designed to complement your scheduled services and ensure you get the right support at the right time, without the high costs of one-on-one care.
You can live independently with confidence, knowing help is always nearby!
OSS is a way of pooling your resources with your neighbours or house/flat mates. It’s a way of combining your supports with other residents, to give you access to supports over a longer period of time.
This may be based in a dedicated apartment or hub within your building or nearby, allowing easy access to support when needed via phone, iPad, nurse call systems, or in-person visits.
OSS provides 24/7 assistance for unplanned or incidental tasks, including:
