STA | MTA
At Real Community Services (RCS), we recognize that life often calls for flexible support solutions. Whether it’s providing carers with a well-deserved break, helping participants transition between living arrangements, or offering short-term care in times of need, our Respite, Short-Term Accommodation (STA), and Medium-Term Accommodation (MTA) services are here to deliver peace of mind, comfort, and continuity of care.
Our Services Explained
-
Respite Care
Designed to provide temporary relief for family or informal carers, our respite services offer participants a supportive, safe, and enjoyable environment while their carers take time for themselves.
-
Short-Term Accommodation (STA)
For participants needing short stays due to changes in care arrangements, travel, or as part of capacity-building goals, our STA provides tailored support in a fully equipped, welcoming setting.

Medium-Term Accommodation (MTA)
MTA is ideal for participants waiting for permanent living arrangements, such as Supported Independent Living (SIL) or Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA). We provide high-quality, interim housing with personalized support to bridge the gap seamlessly.

"During my respite stays, I’ve had the chance to relax, recharge, and enjoy activities tailored to my interests. The staff are attentive and genuinely care about making my time enjoyable and stress-free. Whether it’s trying new hobbies, exploring the local area, or simply having a quiet moment to myself, I always leave feeling refreshed and supported.
