Ryrie Street Residence
A unique pathway to greater independence in East Geelong
Eight bedrooms arranged as three separately accessed living sections. Residents share a home without sharing everything.
The home
Designed to feel like a house, not a facility
The residence sits on 398 Ryrie Street in East Geelong, close to shops, transport and community services. Inside, the home is divided into three sections, each with its own entry, living room and kitchen. Only authorised staff have access across all sections.
The property is intentionally not overcrowded. Numbers are kept lower than the bedroom count would allow so the home stays calm, predictable and easy to navigate.
- Furnished bedrooms with space to personalise
- Private living room and kitchen in each section
- Separate section entries for privacy
- Shared outdoor areas and garden
- Weekly resident meetings on activities and routines
- Close to public transport and local services
