Supported Living
What is Supported Living?
Supported living is an arrangement in which individuals with special needs are provided with assistance and support to live independently in their own homes or apartments. This type of living is designed to help individuals with special needs to live as independently as possible while still receiving the support they need to thrive. Supported living includes a range of services such as personal care, assistance with daily living tasks, transportation, housekeeping, and budgeting support. The services and support provided are tailored to the individual needs and preferences of each person.
Why Supported Living ?
- Increased independence: Supported living enables individuals to live independently while receiving the necessary support to manage daily tasks, such as cooking, cleaning, and personal hygiene.
- Integration into the community: The community-based nature of supported living facilitates social interaction and integration with the local community, improving quality of life and reducing the risk of social isolation.
- Enhanced mental health: Supported living can provide individuals with mental health conditions with essential support, leading to improved well-being and a reduction in hospital admissions.
- Flexibility: Supported living is a flexible option that can be tailored to an individual's changing needs, enabling them to remain in their own home while receiving care.
- Dignity: Supported living promotes individuals' dignity and autonomy, allowing them to make their own decisions and participate in activities that interest them.
- Cost-effective: Supported living can be a more cost-effective solution than residential care, providing a similar level of support at a lower cost.
- Family involvement: Supported living enables family members to be closely involved in their loved one's care, supporting them to remain involved in decisions affecting their lives.
