Understanding Supported Independent Living (SIL)
SIL stands for Supported Independent Living, which is a choice available to people with disabilities who want to live independently. SIL accommodations are created to support people with disabilities in leading as independent a life as possible in a secure setting. This kind of accommodation can be individual living arrangements, where a person with a disability lives alone or with a roommate and receives support as needed or shared housing, where several people with disabilities live together and receive assistance from qualified staff. This can be done by having caregivers available 24/7 to help with daily activities like cooking and cleaning, going to appointments, taking their medications, picking up a hobby, and learning how to use public transportation. These accommodations are well-designed and made accessible with living spaces that offer 24/7 care services and allow you to live independently under the supervision of highly qualified support workers. Care Aust’s supported independent living options include 24/7 safe and secure care services. Our specially designed accommodations are easily accessible to all types of people with disabilities. Care Aust will make sure that you have the freedom to decide whether or not you want a housemate. You will have the freedom to decide on household matters in a way that feels comfortable to you.
How can SIL help Participants Achieve their goals?
The notable benefits when choosing Supported Independent Living are:
- Being Self-Sufficient: The feeling of moving into a place that one can call home is one of the most liberating things. It allows people to make their own decisions and live their lives according to their own plans—possibly for the first time in their life.
- Nonstop Support: Care Aust’s trained and experienced support personnel are ready to help individuals in the SIL locations with personal care, daily living assistance, household management, social and communication skills development, and overnight assistance.
