Jema has always been determined to lead an independent life. Born with Down syndrome, she aspired in her 30s to move out on her own. With the support family and her NDIS plan, Jema achieved this milestone, embracing the responsibilities and joys of independent living.
Transitioning to self-sufficiency presented some challenges for Jema, especially in maintaining a balanced diet. Without structured support, Jema weight increased, leading to health concerns. Recognising the need for a sustainable solution, Jema’s aunt and carer, Anne found that Lite n’ Easy would align perfectly with her independent living goals.
As Jema’s aunt and carer, I introduced Lite n’ Easy into her routine to support her independence. The individually packed meals are delivered to her door, allowing her to unpack, reheat, or assemble them herself. Jema enjoys the Lite Meal Plan for healthy eating at home and often goes out to eat with her friends.
NDIS plan supports have been instrumental in Jema’s journey. Her plan helps pay for Lite n’ Easy meals and delivery and carers who come and help Jema around the home with housework - but other than that she is quite fiercely independent.
As well as eating healthily, Jema now walks about 2 kilometres per day and uses her WII Fit for 30 minutes, most days. Jema also works 4 days per week. As Jema’s weight and health improved, she went back to more socialising with her friends and is enjoying her dance team too.
