What is a Supported Independent Living (SIL)?
Supported Independent Living is a NDIS service where Feels Like Home partners with you to live as independently as possible. This can be on your own or with others on the same package.
We can provide 24/7 assisted living support, including everyday tasks like cooking, cleaning, personal care while building skills and meeting your needs and preferences. We can take you to appointments, the shops, or other social events as long as specialised vehicles are not required.
We will help you find a home that’s suitable for your needs with housemates that have shared interests – the choice is yours.
