What is a Vertical Village?

What is a Vertical Village?

We believe everyone deserves their own home, a community and a choice in who they live with. If they choose to share their living space at all.

Our commitment to this belief materialises in entire buildings we call Vertical Villages. This means residents of United for Care choose how they live, where they live and who they live with.

‍

What does this actually mean?

  • Private apartments: you don't need to share if you don't want to
  • Dedicated staff: we'll be right here when you need us
  • Great locations: everything you need at your door
  • Tailored support: your support, your way

‍

Private apartments

We know the traditional group home model is a great solution for many, however, we believe it shouldn’t be the only solution.

We believe that everyone should have the option to live in their own space with their own kitchen, their own bathroom and their own company. We aim to meet this need and provide accommodation options that suit a multitude of needs and types of funding.

‍

Dedicated staff

We are firm believers that two heads are better than one, three heads are better than two and a united team is unstoppable.

This is why our carefully selected experts work together in teams. This is how we ensure our residents receive the very best support year-round.

‍

Great locations

We currently have eight locations across Sydney and Wollongong with more already in the pipeline for 2023 and beyond!

It’s important to us to provide the right apartment, in the right place at the right time. So if you want to stay close to friends and family, or if it’s time for a sea change – we have a Vertical Village right where you need it.

‍

Tailored support

Your support, your way means every resident with United for Care receives a custom roster of care that works around existing supports, routines and funding.

Our flexible approach to rostering means residents can access shared ratios while living in their own individual apartments. And, because every roster is custom designed it is easily adapted to every journey.
