Summary
Elderly parents in declining health are stuck caring for an adult disabled child who refuses to move to supported accommodation, and the NDIS system fails to provide effective housing planning, leading to elder welfare crisis. Families feel helpless as there is no mechanism to progress housing transitions when the adult child refuses to engage, and support coordinators do not proactively follow up. This creates severe financial and emotional strain on elderly parents already struggling with their own health.
