Supported Independent Living (SIL) is an NDIS support that offers assistance and guidance to people with disabilities to live independently. This service is aimed at people with disabilities who need support with their daily lives at home all the time.
Supported Independent Living prioritizes individualized care for people with disabilities and empowers individuals to live independently while receiving tailored support based on their needs and preferences. Autonomy, community integration, and person-centered support are the three pillars of this service that are rooted in the principles that individuals with disabilities can live fulfilling lives.
The service focuses on the inherent rights of individuals with disabilities to make decisions about their own lives and empowers individuals to actively participate in decisions that directly impact their well-being. SIL breaks down barriers and reduces social isolation to foster connections with neighbors and communities. From assistance to skill development, SIL addresses all the specific requirements of each individual and provides effective and efficient support while respecting the diverse range of abilities and aspirations of people with disabilities.
Our support workers and associates routinely mark the improvement in the quality of life of our participants while also encouraging community connection and social interactions. Continuous evaluation and adaptation ensure the ongoing success of the SIL program. Our team is flexible, responsible for the changing needs and requirements of individuals, and adept at adjusting as per the requirements to maintain a person-centered approach. Skill development goes hand-in-hand with regular assessments of the effectiveness of the support services. We focus on enhancing the capabilities of individuals to navigate daily life successfully.
In real-life scenarios, the transformative impact of supported independent living becomes evident through individual stories. Mary, a young woman with cerebral palsy, embraced SIL to pursue her dream of living independently. With customized support in a few months, Mary was able to manage her daily activities autonomously.
