Finding the right home can be life-changing — especially when it’s more than just a place to live.
At Pathhaven Disability Care, we believe Supported Independent Living (SIL) should empower people to live life on their own terms, while feeling safe, connected, and supported every step of the way.
Our East Maitland SIL property offers a welcoming environment where residents can enjoy comfort, choice, and genuine community connection — all in a modern, accessible home designed with independence in mind.
Located in the heart of East Maitland, our 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home combines practicality with comfort. It features:
Wheelchair accessibility throughout the home for easy mobility
Solar panels for sustainable, energy-efficient living
Central location close to Green Hills Shopping Centre and public transport
Each resident has their own private space while enjoying the benefits of shared living — fostering connection, collaboration, and a sense of belonging. It’s the perfect blend of independence and support.
At Pathhaven, we understand that independence looks different for everyone.
Our approach is all about helping each person build the skills and confidence they need to live life their way.
From daily living tasks to community participation, we support residents to take steps — big and small — toward their personal goals. Whether it’s learning new routines, getting involved in local events, or developing social skills, our team is there to provide encouragement and practical support.
We see independence not as a destination, but as an ongoing journey of growth and discovery.
True inclusion comes from connection. That’s why our SIL home is not just a place to stay — it’s a springboard into the local community.
Residents are supported to get involved in meaningful activities, from joining local programs to exploring the shops and parks nearby. These everyday moments help build self-confidence, friendships, and a stronger sense of belonging.
We’ve seen time and again that when people feel connected and included, they thrive — socially, emotionally, and personally.
Every member of the Pathhaven Disability Care team shares one goal: to deliver care that’s ethical, accountable, and person-centred.
We take the time to get to know each individual — their goals, preferences, and strengths — so that the support we provide genuinely makes a difference.
Our promise is simple: to help every participant live a life that feels independent, valued, and full of possibility.
