Supported Independent Living: Providing the Right Care and Support for NDIS Participants
Supported Independent Living (SIL) is a program designed to provide NDIS participants with the right care and support to live independently in their own homes. This program offers a range of options to suit the individual needs of each participant, from short-term accommodation to medium-term accommodation. NDIS Home and Living Supports funding is available to help participants access SIL services, which can be provided by a range of providers, including Carepro Disability Service.
In this blog, we discussed SIL and the different options available to NDIS participants, as well as the benefits of using a supported independent living provider like Carepro Disability Services.
What is Supported Independent Living (SIL)?
SIL is a program that provides NDIS participants with the support they need to live independently in their own homes. This support can range from daily living assistance to complex medical care, depending on the needs of the participant. SIL is designed to give participants control over their own lives and promote independence, while also providing a safety net of support.
NDIS Home and Living Supports funding is available to help participants access SIL services. This funding can be used to pay for a range of supports, including assistance with personal care, household tasks, and transportation. The funding can also be used to pay for accommodation, either short-term or medium-term, depending on the needs of the participant.
Short-Term Accommodation
Short-term accommodation is designed for NDIS participants who require support for a limited period of time. This could be due to a change in their living situation, such as a family member going on holiday or a home renovation, or because they need respite care. Short-term accommodation can also be used for participants who are transitioning between living arrangements, such as moving from hospital to home.
Short-term accommodation can be provided in a range of settings, including specialist disability accommodation, hotels, and serviced apartments. The type of accommodation provided will depend on the needs of the participant and the availability of suitable accommodation in the area.
Medium-Term Accommodation
Medium-term accommodation is designed for NDIS participants who require support for a longer period of time, typically up to six months. This could be due to a change in their living situation, such as a move to a new area, or because they need additional support to transition to independent living.
Medium-term accommodation can be provided in a range of settings, including specialist disability accommodation, share houses, and rental properties. The type of accommodation provided will depend on the needs of the participant and the availability of suitable accommodation in the area.
