Specialised Substitute Residential Care (SSRC): Empowering Care During Transitions

Specialised Substitute Residential Care (SSRC) is a crucial NDIS service designed to provide individuals with disabilities a secure and supportive living environment during transitional periods when their regular caregivers or living situations may not be available or suitable.

At MMT Health, we understand that life’s unexpected changes or caregiver unavailability can create challenges. SSRC is the solution that offers temporary specialized residential care tailored to the unique needs of individuals during these times.

Now, let’s look at how MMT Health supports and delivers SSRC Services:

  • Monitoring and Review:

    We place a strong emphasis on continuous monitoring and review of the participant's experience. Regular check-ins and assessments ensure the effectiveness of the support provided, with adjustments made promptly to match the evolving goals and circumstances.

  • Coordination with Other Services:

    Recognising that individuals may have ongoing care and support needs, we collaborate closely with other healthcare services and providers. This ensures a seamless transition between SSRC and regular living arrangements, providing a holistic approach to care.
