Supported Independent Living
Supported Independent Living (SIL) is an NDIS support. It offers individuals the opportunity to live in SIL accommodation, either independently or with housemates in a shared home.
Our dedicated staff is available around the clock, 7 days a week, to cater to your unique support requirements in your SIL accommodation. This support is different from Individualised Living Options (ILO), which are also known as short-term accommodation. With our SIL accommodations, our goal is to empower you to lead an independent life.
Our Supported Independent Living homes provide a warm and secure living environment. We provide assistance with daily tasks, commonly known as daily living support, including:
- Household tasks
- Meal preparation and cooking
- Personal care
- Going to appointments with health professionals
- Medication management
Eligibility: Who can find SIL accommodations?
Access to our NDIS services are open to all NDIS participants. We would love the opportunity to discuss how Me & You Carers can help you achieve the life you desire. There are no restrictions on eligibility, as we are a registered NDIS provider.
Fees: How much do SIL accommodations cost?
Fees for our Supported Independent Living homes are determined in accordance with the NDIS pricing schedule and are based on the specific services and support you require. We work with you to create a customised and individualised agreement that meets your unique needs.
