JASPER CARE SERVICES: Choose the Best SIL Support

Supported Independent Living SIL is provided as part of some participants’ NDIS plans. It’s designed for individuals with disabilities who require 24/7 support to live at home. Although described as round-the-clock care, supported independent living might not always add up to continuous disability support service provision. This is especially true for participants who work, are enrolled in education or training, or attend regular community events.

 

Obtaining NDIS SIL allows individuals with disabilities to continue living in their communities with autonomy and dignity. It is important in ensuring a top quality of life for NDIS participants. At JASPER CARE SERVICES, we offer supported independent living. Our support is personalised to individuals who are looking for support to live as independently as possible and typically reside in shared accommodations.

What Support Can Be Funded Through Supported Independent Living?

Every individual offered with SIL disability support is also offered with NDIS funding for a support coordinator. 

 

  • The support coordinator will help the participant plan how to best use their SIL funds to allow independent living. 
  • This involves creating a comprehensive full-time roster for NDIS disability support. 
  • NDIS SIL funding can be used for:
  1. A 24/7 roster of services, such as carer staff and support workers 
  2. Help with household chores, such as budgeting, cleaning and cooking
  3. Assistance with personal hygiene, such as getting dressed and bathing
  4. Training in life skills development and travel to appointments 
  5. Support with participating in community and social activities. 

 

Since each individual with a disability has unique goals and challenges for their supported independent living in Brisbane, the SIL disability fund is deliberately flexible. 

Advantages of supported independent living under NDIS

Supported independent living SIL represents a way for individuals with a disability to enjoy a more autonomous and enriched lifestyle. Some benefits are: 

 

  • Enhanced Independence: Whether it’s personal care, budgeting, or assistance with preparing meals, the support is tailored to empower participants rather than taking over. 
  • Community engagement and social inclusion: SIL also helps participants take part in social activities, whether it’s attending local events, participating in social groups, or joining a local sports club. 
  • Improved Mental and Physical Well-being: Living autonomously with support can have a positive impact on both the mental and physical well-being of people with disabilities.
  • A Support Network for Families and Carers: SIL doesn’t just benefit the participant; it also offers significant support for carers and families. 
  • Opportunities for Skill Development and Personal Growth: Supported Independent Living offers a unique platform for people with disabilities to grow professionally and personally.
  • Security and Safety: NDIS SIL accommodation provides a secure environment where participants can thrive while feeling safe.
  • Flexibility to Adapt to Changing Needs: The needs of people with disabilities can change over time, and it’s crucial that the support they obtain is adaptable. SIL offers flexibility, enabling adjustments as your needs change over time.
