At Maudcare, we offer a variety of enjoyable and engaging adult day service programs for NDIS participants that revolve around both centre-based group activities and community-based activities. Our holistic approach emphasizes the importance of providing a person-centered experience where individual choice and empowerment are key elements. We strive to empower participants to achieve independence while also offering support to develop essential social and life skills, as well as fostering long-term relationships. Our goal is to help individuals reach their full potential and become the best versions of themselves.
We believe that learning important life skills should be both engaging and exciting. That’s why our adult day service programs are designed to provide a variety of activities that promote social interaction and enjoyment. Participants will have the opportunity to learn valuable life skills while having fun in a supportive environment. Our focus is on creating engaging programs that help our participants develop essential skills and build social connections that can last a lifetime.
Maudcare is a tribute to the memory of our mother, Maud Steenbeek, who passed away in 2020. She was our teacher and mentor, an expat from the Netherlands, and a free spirit at heart who was always connected to the ocean, sailing, and exploring the farmlands as a child.
When she moved to Australia, she raised us in Warrandyte, a small town at the time, and instilled in us a deep connection to the land. As children, we spent countless hours climbing trees, exploring the surrounding national park, and observing the many different animals that inhabited our property. Maud taught us the value of patience and the importance of understanding how integral our natural world is. We learned that we can gain a multitude of life skills simply by sitting and observing the flora and fauna that surrounds us.
Maud was a true empath, always willing to help anyone in need. Her values and understanding of the natural world flowed into us. We learned the importance of connecting with the land, developing positive relationships with animals and plants, and understanding the magic of nature and its many benefits for our mental, physical, and overall well-being.
We are two brothers, Luke and Adam, and we want to deliver support differently. Our approach is holistic and fun, with a deep understanding of the benefits that nature and animals can provide. We have knowledge of produce and health, and we promote positive relationships with our bodies. We believe in harnessing an active lifestyle and its many benefits.
At the core of our work is the importance of connection – with each other, the community, and a deeper awareness of overall well-being and inclusion. We are committed to providing a supportive and engaging environment where individuals can thrive, develop new skills, and enjoy fulfilling social connections. At Maudcare, we strive to honor our mother’s memory by creating a positive impact on the lives of the individuals we serve, and we are dedicated to continuing this important work into the future.
Why we do what we do! A beautiful poem from one of our participants.
