Your questions on assisted living for Cerebral Palsy answered
Navigating the complexities of cerebral palsy requires a supportive living environment that not only understands the unique challenges but also recognises and celebrates the potential in each one of us.
Assisted living can significantly enhance the lives of those living with cerebral palsy, offering tailored support ranging from daily personal care to skill development, within settings that are designed for accessibility and comfort. Our assisted living options blend specialised living arrangements with personalised care plans, while fostering community and independence.
Maple Community Services specialises in providing supported independent living (SIL) and accommodation services for people living with cerebral palsy, no matter the severity. This can take place in any home setting whether it is shared or in your private home, short term, medium term, or long term.

How can people with cerebral palsy benefit from assisted living?
People living with cerebral palsy might want to consider transitioning to assisted living as it can provide a supportive environment that can be tailored to your unique needs as well as encouraging your autonomy and independence.
Some of the reasons people with cerebral palsy choose assisted living include:
- Personalised care and support – Our assisted living environments offer customised care plans that address the unique needs of each resident, including help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing and eating. This support can be especially helpful for those who face challenges with mobility and self-care tasks.
- Therapeutic services – Our assisted living facilities provide access to therapeutic services such as physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy. These services can be highly beneficial for maintaining and improving physical abilities, enhancing communication skills, and promoting overall well-being.
- Adaptive environment – Our assisted living environments are designed with accessibility in mind. We incorporate features such as open plan and wheelchair accessible living areas, and custom bathroom fittings that can make a significant difference in the ease of daily living.
- Social interaction and community – Living in one of our assisted communities allows our residents to interact and socialise with others, which we believe is essential for our collective emotional health and well-being. These interactions can help to reduce feelings of isolation and encourage meaningful relationships.
- Safety and security – Assisted living provides residents with a safe and secure environment with staff available to assist should a challenge or emergency arise. This can bring peace of mind to both our residents and their families, knowing that help is readily available.
- Independence and autonomy – Despite the support that is on-hand, assisted living arrangements encourage independence. Our residents have the freedom to make choices about their daily activities and lifestyle and learn new life skills within a supporting framework.
- Recreational and educational activities – Our facilities offer a range of recreational and educational activities that can be both enjoyable and beneficial in terms of skill development and cognitive stimulation.
- Reduced caregiver stress – As a bonus, families and caregivers can relax knowing their loved one is in a supportive, caring environment. This alleviates the stress and demands of full-time caring and instead they can focus on creating meaningful memories with their loved ones.
