Legacy Care Solutions is an NDIS registered provider of disability support services in New South Wales, and one of the best you can find. Why do we say so? There are plenty of reasons – so we would like to start by explaining everything from the beginning.
What Is Disability?
According to the Disability Services Act of 1993, any condition that restricts the daily activities of an individual is considered a disability. A disability:
- Can be temporary or permanent
- Can be chronic or sporadic in nature
- Can be a physical, psychiatric, intellectual, sensory, neurological, or cognitive impairment or a combination of some of them
- Causes significantly decreased ability of the person to communicate, interact socially, learn, be mobile, and may necessitate support services for a continued time.
When people with disability are provided with the right disability support services and other aids, they may be able to manage or even overcome many of the restrictions they experience.
What Are the Different Types of Disability?
As stated above, a disability may be physical, psychiatric, intellectual, sensory, neurological, or cognitive in nature, but several individuals have multiple disabilities in combination. Physical disabilities are the most common type of disability, followed by sensory and intellectual disabilities. Disorders of the respiratory, circulatory, nervous, and musculoskeletal systems are the most common manifestations of physical disability. Vision and hearing impairments are sensory disabilities.
Cognitive and neurological disabilities are usually acquired disabilities, caused by trauma, or illnesses like multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, and so on. Difficulties with communication, learning, memory, thought processes, logic, judgements, solving problems, and so on, are intellectual disabilities; it may be caused by any of several reasons, and sometimes the underlying cause is not known or not definable. Psychiatric disorders like anxiety, depression, bipolar disease, phobias, etc. can also cause disability.

Disability Support Services We Provide
As a leading provider of disability support services in Sydney, Legacy Care Solutions offer a wide range of support services to serve the diverse needs of people living with disabilities. Here are the main support services we provide:
Support Coordination
NDIS often necessitates significant adjustment, and this can be very challenging. Our Support Coordination team can help you steer through the scheme and help you live your best possible life simultaneously, even if you are going through a crisis. We can assist you to effectively handle the challenges and provide solutions to problems, as well as think about new goals for our NDIS participants.
Just contact our team with your NDIS plan, and you can get all the help you need to connect with the right providers and source the support that you require. Our Support Coordination Team helps not only in quickly coordinating support, but also provides regular updates on the changes that happen in the NDIS scheme. For patients who have been approved and are eligible for the NDIS plan, Legacy Care Solutions offer support coordination services up to Level II.
NDIS Plan Management
The NDIS actually offers participants a vast array of options for services, but participants are normally not able to access many of them. As a registered NDIS provider, we can help you get through every step so that you get the maximum benefit from your plan. Our expert planners will help you manage your budget efficiently and handle funding and payments to providers on your behalf. This will help participants to maximize their potential to implement their choices and freedom and be in complete control over their NDIS plan.
It can be overwhelming and cumbersome to do all of this by yourself. Legacy Care provides a feasible and effective solution, helping your NDIS plan management to be smooth and hassle-free. You won’t have to worry about anything – managing funds and budgets, the accounting, or paperwork, and claims. Just leave it to us, and rest easy.
Therapeutic Supports
We support our participants in several daily tasks whether it is something as simple as getting ready for the day or for more dedicated and complex care. We work with our participants to provide customized services to suit their needs as stated in their NDIS plans. We ensure that your plan is executed to the maximum efficiency with our team of coordinators, physiotherapists, and therapy assistants. Through our Therapeutic Supports services, we help people to improve not just specific skills but also their freedom.
We aim to help our participants lead as independent a life as possible by providing tools that aid with maintaining personal hygiene, moving about, social interactions and the support team will work with you in areas like mobility, communication, speech, personal care, social connections, and so on. In many cases, the hurdles are psychological, and our psychologists can help our participants to overcome them and help them achieve their goals. The consultations provided to participants are completely tailormade as per the specific needs of participants. We also work with the family, caregivers, and support coordinators to help them overcome their mental health problems.
Assist Daily Personal Activities
At Legacy Care Solutions, we offer dedicated support to children and adults with disabilities to perform day-to-day routines. Our support helps people live independently, and perform their daily household tasks; we just step in for activities they are unable to perform themselves. We help them to be mobile in spite of the restrictions their disabilities impose on them.
Cleaning & Household Activities
Poor health or physical impairment can prevent you from performing even the simplest of tasks at home, like cleaning and washing. At Legacy Care, we understand how important these tasks are – clutter and mess can also lead to anxiety or gloom. We provide help with all kinds of household tasks like dusting, cleaning, laundry, doing the dishes, tidying up the house, and so on. Where applicable, we can also help with yard work, cooking, shopping for groceries and so on. We pride ourselves on providing high-quality assistance so that our participants can live independently in their homes and be happy.
Social and Community Participation
Social interactions are crucial for human beings to have good mental health, be happy, and generally feel good about themselves. At our handicap day centre, we offer numerous opportunities for participants to socialize with other members of the community, and learn new skills. Participants can choose to join classes for music, yoga, crafts, theatre, and so on. We are committed to contributing to society and empowering our participants to be meaningful members of society through the provision of the best possible services to them.
We help our participants with their daily chores at home and guide them to gain the required skills so that they can have some independence. We can also provide these services at community centres.
Assist Access / Maintain Employ
NDIS participants can live independently in their own homes, and pay for support staff through the Supported Independent Living financing scheme. Specialist Disability Support Accommodation is a home built specially to help participants with disabilities with assisted accommodation. We help participants with daily household tasks like cleaning, meal preparations, personal care, and other activities. Through the Supported Independent Living programme of the NDIS, our staff can stay with the participant or in a facility close enough that can help them go their side immediately when needed.
The Daily Tasks and Shared Living scheme enables people with disabilities to live in single-family homes that share facilities, in a community within their residential areas. Our staff help and monitor the participants as necessary. This scheme helps them live in a communal setting with those in
Innov Community Participation
This program is created to help our participants gain skills that will help them interact effectively in their community in social settings. Expert Community Outreach Practitioners help participants be more actively involved with the community as well as improve their job prospects by improving their capabilities and using community-centric strategies to enhance their chances of getting accepted.
Assist-Travel / Transport
Most of our participants are terrified at the thought of travel; at Legacy Solutions, we provide transport to help them participate in communal and social activities along with work and daily life-related activities. We also drive them to their medical appointments, with highly reliable and specialized transport arrangements. We offer disability transport options to every one of our participants who want to explore the world outside and enjoy life.

Programs for Capacity Building and Skill Development
Through these programs, we ensure that our participants gain the confidence, resources, and skills required to be meaningful members of the community, and avail the opportunities available to others. At our day programs, our staff assist adults with disabilities to improve their capabilities and learn skills necessary to live their daily lives as independently and smoothly as they can. We strive to help our participants lead a fulfilling life, allowing them to do the things they like. We help skills like:
- Basic reading, writing and arithmetic for those who need

Helping You Achieve Personal Goals

It could be anything like wanting to have more meaningful relationships, money management, finding employment, getting your driver’s license, or improved health and wellness. At Legacy Care, we help you to reach your goals through our disability day programs with personalized support services, designed to help you grow.
