Supported Independent Living
Ongoing support in shared or individual homes
Living with daily support
Supported Independent Living (SIL) at HHWSS provides ongoing, day-to-day support for people who need regular assistance to live safely and comfortably at home. Support is delivered in shared homes or individual settings, with consistent staff, familiar routines, and steady involvement to support everyday living over time.
HOW SUPPORTED INDEPENDENT LIVING WORKS
SIL is about stability, predictability, and support that fits real life, not rigid systems.
Is Supported Independent Living the same as 24/7 support?
Not always. SIL funding is based on assessed need and can involve different levels of daily support. Some homes may include overnight or 24/7 support, while others do not.
Do people have to live in shared housing?
No. SIL can be delivered in shared homes or in an individual living arrangement, depending on funding, needs, and preferences.
How are routines and house arrangements decided?
Routines are developed collaboratively, taking into account individual needs, shared spaces, and safety. The aim is to create predictable, workable routines rather than rigid rules.
What happens if someone’s needs change while living in SIL?
Needs often change. When this happens, we review supports, talk through options, and adjust arrangements carefully so people feel informed and supported throughout the process.
