Supported living services encompass a wide range of supportive interventions, including personal care assistance, skill training, and emotional support. The primary goal of these services is to enhance the quality of life for individuals with disabilities or mental health conditions by promoting their autonomy, self-determination, and social integration.
Our staff support each person to create a person-centred plan that tells us how they want to live their life now and in the future. Through a range of communication tools, we ensure that each person is closely involved in the development of their own plan. Our support includes:
One of the key advantages of supported living services is the flexibility they provide. Unlike traditional residential care facilities, which tend to have strict schedules and routines, supported living allows individuals to develop their own routines and make decisions about their daily lives. This freedom enables individuals to engage in meaningful activities, such as pursuing education, employment, or hobbies, based on their own interests and aspirations.
Besides promoting independence, supported living services also offer a safety net to address the unique challenges faced by individuals with disabilities or mental health conditions. Through personalised care plans, support workers assist individuals with activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing, and meal preparation. Additionally, these services can be tailored to the specific needs of each individual, whether it be managing medications, developing social skills, or accessing community resources.
