Level 3 Supported Accommodation 

Colville House (formerly Winston House) is an associated entity of 121 Care. Colville House is a 21-bed supported accommodation facility based in Gympie.

Our highly trained team of support and community workers assist persons living with mental health conditions such as epilepsy schizophrenia, bipolar disorder as well as intellectual disabilities and other mental health conditions.

Colville House provides pathways and opportunities for residents to live an independent life. Onsite services include 24/7 support with meals, medication management, health care and personal support. The team at Colville work with NDIS providers to provide the gaps in the support that residents may not be able to receive in-house.

Residents at Colville House are encouraged through supports provided, to settle in and treat the residence as their home.

121 Care’s approach gives people real choice of how much responsibility and control they want to take for their own care plan. I first became involved with 121 Care as a Committee member, but soon was so impressed with the model of listening and insistence on client input that I changed from my previous service provider to 121 Care.

The biggest benefits with 121 Care are choosing my own carers (I have a fantastic team); the flexibility to run my own roster and organise my shifts with my carers has been awesome. The office staff are very respectful and helpful when I need something. I never feel like I’m a number, but a person which matters to me a lot.

What I’m grateful for most about getting my support through 121 Care is that I can stay in my own home. The staff members also help me to achieve my goals and offer paid training to our carers to become better workers.

I appreciated that 121 Care gave me control, rather than telling me what to do. The freedom to interview and choose my own workers is what I like most about my care, rather than being allocated workers without any consultation. It was made clear to me from the start that I would run my own care with my own workers.
