SIL (Supported Independent Living)

What is Supported Independent Living?

 

Supported Independent Living (SIL) is designed to give people with disabilities the support they need to live independently in the community. This support can include things like

 

• Travelling to and attending appointments
• Help with household tasks
• Transportation
• Personal Care
• Support with managing medications
• Finances
• Accessing social and community activities
• Other aspects of daily life

 

SIL is all about empowering people with disabilities to live the lives they want, on their own terms. Here at Heartland Support Services, we give you the tools and support you need to be as independent as possible, and to participate fully in the community. Whether you’re a person with disability looking for support to live independently, or a family member or carer searching for ways to help a loved one, SIL can provide a range of options to suit your needs and goals. It’s a chance to take control of your life and make the most of every day. So why not explore the possibilities of SIL today? With the right support, Heartland Support Services can help you live a fulfilling and independent life, surrounded by the people and activities you love.

 

SIL provides around the clock (24 hour) day-to-day support. It can be invaluable if you require more support than your informal support network can provide, and you want to develop your skills to live independently.

 

A SIL provider

Here at Heartland Support Services, we can manage the supports. Essentially this means as a SIL provider we will supply the workers to support people in the house with daily living tasks. Generally, this is all done with a focus on developing your skills so you can live as independently as possible.
