Young disabled may get access to more appropriate care
Younger disabled people who have been forced to live in nursing homes on the New South Wales mid-north coast could soon get a reprieve.
About 100 people, including several on the mid-north coast, asked to move when they were surveyed by the State Government.
The Minister for Disability Services, Kristina Keneally, says they will be provided with more specialised care.
"They're young people, and they want the type of life and the type of lifestyle that their age peers are having," she said.
"What we're aiming to provide is 100 new supported places, flexible age appropriate, innovative places."
