Our Foundation was formed out of a desire to provide a caring, 'forever home' for people living with a disability in the community.
As with all Ryder-Cheshire homes our guiding philosophy is the relief of suffering without discrimination.
The Mount Gambier homes are leased to and managed by estara, formerly known as ParaQuadSA and its service provider HomeCare+.
The Foundation has built and maintains two homes: Ryder and Cheshire.
Each home accommodates five residents who have studio-style rooms with ensuites, shared living areas and alfresco spaces. Video tour
Planning has commenced for a possible third complex.
Our Patron, the Governor of South Australia, the Honourable Frances Adamson AC, was keen to hear an update on the Foundation's operations and plans during her latest visit to Mount Gambier.
We are pleased to welcome Leoni Davis to the Board.
Leoni has a background in business and is the sister of Cheshire resident David Lockwood.
