Creating a Safe and Supportive Living Environment for Adults with Down Syndrome

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) helps people with disabilities, including those with Down Syndrome to live as independently as possible through funded support and services. Thinking about moving out of parental care and wanting to live in a space of their own is an important part of adulthood. Adults with Down Syndrome may require care and support to help them with this transition. Supported Independent Living (SIL) is the funded support that can help them in this process.

Essentially, Supported Independent Living (SIL) means living in your own home while receiving assistance. It is paid personal support which will help the participants to carry out daily activities, take care of personal care tasks, receive help with medication management as well as medical appointments and build their independent living skills. The choice of where and with whom the participant prefers to reside is entirely up to them. Though Supported Independent Living is a shared support, it is possible to access SIL support even while the participant is living alone if it suits their disability support needs.

Adults with Down Syndrome do well in a structured environment and SIL assistance will help them develop a routine. Supported Independent Living will provide a safe and supportive living environment which will help them to achieve all their NDIS goals.

Classy Life can help the participants in developing custom SIL support care plans which will provide the maximum benefits. As a registered NDIS service provider, we pride ourselves on our method of addressing the needs of each participant individually. If you want to access our SIL services, do reach out to us today.

Being Independent: How to Utilise NDIS Supported Independent Living.

When People with disabilities move into a new home, they will need proper support and assistance to be independent. Many a time, it may be the first time they are living away from the comfort and security provided by the home of their parents and loved ones. Several people shy away from the prospect to live on their own because of the lack of support. But the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) has changed the way we look at home and living options for people with disabilities.

Supported Independent Living (SIL) is an NDIS-funded support that provides help with day-to-day tasks so that the participants can enjoy independent living and build their skills. A support worker will help the participant with personal care activities, cooking, cleaning, shopping etc. Assistance with travel for meeting friends and family or attending community activities is also included in SIL depending on the participant’s NDIS plan. SIL is recommended for people who want support throughout the day. This is a suitable option if you are living with other participants and sharing your supports with them. If you want to live alone or live with someone who is not an NDIS participant, then there may be better NDIS living options available for you. A registered NDIS service provider can help you understand which living option will best suit your needs.
