Dependable supports and services allow people with disabilities to lead comfortable and active life. Being able to access the necessary support will help them to do many things on their own. This includes enabling them to live independently at home by assisting them in cooking and eating meals, cleaning the house, doing chores and providing personal care. Under the NDIS, Supported Independent Living is the funded support that helps the participants move into their homes by delivering them daily living support.
Supported Independent Living empowers people with higher support needs to experience freedom and more significant opportunities. The SIL funding covers the cost of a support worker who will come and supervise all the daily tasks, including cooking and personal care. The support worker will be available overnight as SIL is meant for people who need extensive support throughout the day. But the SIL funding does not include the participant’s utility bills, rent or groceries. Supported Independent Living gives the participants control over their life and gives them the confidence to live on their own. This funded support is usually shared with participants with similar support needs. It is possible to get Supported Independent Living even if the participants live alone. Still, if that’s the case, then there are many other living options available for them that may better suit their needs.
Aastha Community Services is a registered NDIS service provider. They can help the participants seeking Supported Independent Living to develop a roaster of care to submit to the NDIS and help them achieve their goal of living independently. A roaster of care is a document which contains details about your support needs and other essential information. We can also help you access the services of competent service workers.
