Opportunity to share a new 2 resident modern and accessible, contemporary design, SDA Robust dwelling with Brendan. 

Profile

Brendan is a 56 year old Australian male who is quite independent.

Preferences

Brendan is an independent individual who enjoys making his own tea in a private setting. He likes a quiet, calm environment and would prefer a housemate who respects his privacy.

While he enjoys having his own personal space, he is verbal and likes engaging in conversations with staff and housemates. He likes to have conversations about topics of interest to him. Brendan would welcome a housemate who is also verbal and would be open to chatting, as this would support his interest in developing his social skills.

Brendan dislikes outbursts and loud noises

Living goals

Brendan would like to develop social skills, healthy eating and exercise.

Flatmate preferences

Brendan is happy to share with a male or female co-resident of any age.

Activities

At home, Brendan mostly prefers to keep to himself and doesn’t often take part in household activities.

With support from carers, Brendan enjoys researching topics that interest him online and occasionally visits the library to borrow books. During his outings, he likes exploring different shops and especially enjoys looking for new and unique teas. Brendan also enjoys spending time at cafés and hopes these visits will help him gradually build his social skills. 

Skills development

Within the home, Brendan may need some encouragement to socialise. Supporting a healthy diet and regular exercise will also be an important focus.

Household routine

Brendan values routine and structure in his daily life, finding comfort in knowing what to expect. He feels more at ease when informed of any changes ahead of time, as having a sense of control helps him manage his day. Sudden changes to his routine can be difficult for him.

Brendan is an early riser who is usually ready to greet staff as they arrive. A key part of his morning is making his own tea, a comforting and consistent part of his daily routine. He enjoys simple meals and, while he values time alone, he also appreciates feeling accepted and included by others.
