Supported Independent Living

Supported independent living helps people living with disabilities to retain their independence whilst still having that extra physical and emotional support needed to lead completely fulfilled lives.  Supported independent living is best suited to people living with a disability that have higher support needs. It includes things like having someone to help with personal care or cooking meals. This means you need a significant amount of help throughout the day, 7 days a week or even an overnight support.

You can get supported independent living if you live with other NDIS participants or if you live on your own. Supported independent living is one of the many support options. There might be other home and living supports that suit you better. If you need support to live with people who are not participants we can look at other home and living supports, such as personal care supports or individualised living options. At Ablelife Services, we can help find the right supported living solution for you.

Supported independent living in shared housing

It is your choice who you want to live with, and who you want to share your supports with. You might want to move into share housing specially designed for people living with a disability. If you need supported independent living, we’ll work out the reasonable and necessary supports you need each day. Once it’s in your plan, you can choose which provider you want to deliver your support and decide with them how they will provide the support. Shared living arrangements offer a fantastic opportunity for residents to live with people they choose, meeting social needs and maximising their independence while getting the supports they need to realise their potential.

Supported independent living when you wish to live alone, or when you don’t wish to share your support with other people

From developing a stronger sense of independence to living a life completely on your own terms, living alone has something to offer everyone.

At Ablelife Services, we fund a range of home and living supports, such as personal care or individualised living options. For some, we may be able to fund supported independent living if you live alone. It can help you live as independently as you can and build your skills. We’ll work out the reasonable and necessary supports you need each day. Once it’s in your plan, you can choose which provider you want to deliver your support and decide with them how they will provide the support.
