High Care Accommodation
The Multiple Sclerosis Society of WA has two Supported Accommodation Facilities: Fern River in Wilson and Hamilton Hill.
Both facilities are an accommodation option for those people with Multiple Sclerosis (or similar neurological conditions) who can no longer manage in their own homes in the community, and who would otherwise move into an aged care facility.
Each facility has a manager (a qualified nurse), an assistant coordinator and Care Support Workers, who provide 24hr on site care for the residents.
The facilities also have an after hours on-call Nurse for telephone advice.
Funding for care is provided through individually funded packages available through the Disability Service Commission; however there are eligibility Criteria.
Fern River: is a group of six, three bedroom units; four units have shared capacity and two units are for single occupancy or couples. There are ten residents on site.
Hamilton Hill: comprises of six one bedroom apartments under a single roof. There are six residents on site.

The Multiple Sclerosis Society plans for more Supported Accommodation Facilities in the Bunbury area and Perth Northern Corridor.
