What is Supported Independent Living?
Supported Independent Living is part of the NDIS, where the NDIS pays for all the support you need to live independently.
In essence, it covers the cost of having a carer on site, in your home to help you with things like making meals, personal care, medical assistance and a range of other important needs.
Now it doesn’t cover the cost of your rent, or your electricity bills for example, but you can get help with that from other funding.
You can live on your own, or in a shared home with flatmates who have similar needs, and we can help arrange all of this for you too.
So, what’s included in Supported Independent Living (SIL)?
We like to think of it as the basics that you need for every-day life, and a range of other elements that help you learn, grow and build new skills, leading to even greater independence.
Help living your daily life:
- Support with everyday tasks and activities
- Assistance with your own personal care needs
- Help and arrangement of travel and transport
- High Intensity Support & Complex Care
- Administration of medication, and support for medical appointments
- Help with household chores from cleaning, to laundry and getting dinner ready
help living your best life:
- Empowering you to achieve your goals and set new ones
- Assistance with visiting friends and family
- Help with any behaviour support plans you may have
- Support with community activities such as outings, groups or classes
- Help developing your social skills, and coming out of your shell
- Assistance with capacity building tasks, making you even more independent
Now with everything that’s covered there, you can imagine you’re going to have a pretty close relationship with the person who’s supporting you, and that’s where we come into our own.
We take extra special care to get to know you properly, and then match you with a team of people we just know you’re going to get along with.
While this seems like common sense to us, you’d be surprised how uncommon it really is. Or, maybe you wouldn’t…
