Supported Residential Facilities (SRFs) provide accommodation and daily living assistance for people who need a moderate level of support but may not meet the criteria for government-funded residential aged care. SRFs typically offer meals, housekeeping, personal care, medication support, and a community-oriented environment with varying degrees of supervision.
