Mount Gambier Home
A home for people with disabilities was officially opened in Mount Gambier, South Australia, in April 2006. It is the permanent home base for five young adults with disabilities. These residents have ongoing support from support workers, and participate during the week in a range of vocational and recreational activities in the community. It is the first South Australian Ryder-Cheshire home, and has been purpose designed and built for its new occupants. The opening of the house is the fruition of many years work by the Ryder-Cheshire Mt Gambier Home Board, the Mount Gambier Ryder-Cheshire Support Group, and the local community.
