Generally, people with a disability need support to live independently. Supported Independent Living (SIL) is the assistance participants receive from a support worker to help the participant live more independently. At Tenma Health Care Services, we tailor care to personal requirements and help improve skills and trust to ensure people have options, tools, and control over their support. We want to help people develop their strengths and capabilities and encourage them to overcome any barriers they must to achieve the best life possible. Our aim is to give participants choice and control over how they live your life. Our priority is that each resident feels included, safe and happy.
SIL Support at Tenma Health Care Services
It is important that the Supported Independent Living is unique to the participant’s requirements. Some of our SIL services include:
Help to manage money and household budgeting
Assistance with cooking and meal preparation
Personal care such as showering and dressing
Support with shopping
Assistance with daily skills
What levels of support does SIL provide?
Everyone is different and has unique needs. The NDIS outlines three levels of support that SIL is funded under:
Lower needs :
not usually 24/7. Includes supervision of living arrangements.
Standard needs :
24/7 support. Includes assistance and supervision of most daily tasks, and sleepovers.
Higher needs :
24/7 active support, including overnight. This may include managing challenging behaviours that require positive behaviour support and assistance with daily tasks.
Tenma Health Care Services will take the worry out of the process and assist with anything the participant requires. Contact us today for more information about our SIL services.
