What is Supported Independent Living?

Supported Independent Living (SIL) is an NDIS service arrangement that allows people with disability to live as independently as possible in their own home or shared accommodation. SIL supports and assists participants in the activities of daily living while promoting individual independence. The model of care is specialized in the delivery of support in personal care, household activities, social activities, and health management as per the individual’s needs.

SIL’s goal is to enable individuals to be as independent as they can be, but to have available the assistance they require to manage daily living. For some, this will be 24/7 support for individuals with high care needs, or less for those who require only specialist assistance with specific tasks. Provision can be delivered in a range of settings, from an individual’s own home to a shared house with other participants, according to personal preference.

In SIL, every individual’s support plan is based on his or her individual needs so that each receives the appropriate level of care and support. This enables them to be more independent, develop life skills, and have a sense of belonging and connection with a community. The support that is offered is flexible and can change over time as the person’s needs alter, in order that they are able to continue living in a manner that is in accordance with their own aims and goals.

Why Choose Us for Supported Independent Living (SIL) Services?

• Personalised Strategy: We believe that every individual is unique and take the time to get to know every person on a personal basis. Our Supported Independent Living (SIL) strategy is founded on care, compassion, and understanding. By working closely with every participant, we attend to their individual choice, ambition, and requirements with sensitivity and care. We believe in treating all individuals with dignity, allowing them to feel respected and at ease in their own home.
• High Quality Services: All that we do is centered on quality. We strive to provide high-quality care and support that brings positive impact to the individuals in our care. Our dedicated staff is trained and experienced to provide services that are not only professional but of the highest standard. This way, the participants are given the assistance they require in a secure, supportive, and effective environment. We strive to deliver services that enhance overall well-being, ranging from daily living assistance to intensive medical care.
• Individualised Support: Another key feature of our SIL services is individualisation. We understand that every individual has his or her own needs, wishes, and choices, and we design our support in accordance with this. Whether the support is with daily living, health care, or socialization, we develop personalized plans that mirror the individuality of each participant. This way, each person gets the appropriate amount of support and empowerment to live as independently as possible.
• Empowering Participants: Empowerment is at the heart of our Supported Independent Living philosophy. We operate in partnership with participants to enhance independence, developing self-confidence and ability to empower participants to make their own decisions and take charge of their own lives. We believe that individuals, when provided with appropriate tools and supports, exert greater control over situations. We work hand-in-hand with participants in creating achievable goals and help support them toward those goals in a manner that enhances autonomy and personal development.
• Collaborative Approach: Our philosophy is that collaboration is the best way to get the best results. We collaborate with participants, their families, and carers to create individualised support plans. We take a team approach to ensure everyone involved in the participant’s care is on the same page, with continuity and consistency of service provision. Through regular meetings, feedback, or constant evaluation, we honor communication and cooperation to make sure all parties involved are dedicated and well-informed along the way.
• Respectful and Person-Centered Care: Respect is at the core of our SIL services. We address each participant with respect and courtesy, and we honor their needs, rights, and choices. Our team members are trained to deliver person-centered care that is respectful and responsive, and to treat others with dignity at all times. Through a culture of respect, we enable participants to be themselves, form relationships based on trust, and be comfortable in their own homes.
• Multicultural Sensitivity: We acknowledge the diversity of people we serve and practice multicultural care. Our caregivers are trained to assist participants of diverse cultural backgrounds, so their individual cultural, spiritual, and social needs get met. Providing an inclusive setting, we enable participants to be themselves and freely engage in the life of the community. We want to make sure that we have an environment where anyone, from any background, would feel appreciated and supported.
