Supported Independent Living (SIL)
Live Independently with the Right Level of Support
Our Supported Independent Living (SIL) service is ideal for participants who want to live independently in a shared home environment while receiving the daily support they need. We create safe, nurturing, and inclusive homes where residents are encouraged to learn, grow, and thrive.
Our SIL homes are staffed by compassionate, qualified support workers who assist residents with day-to-day living, skill development, and community participation.
Our SIL Homes Offer:
Personalised and 24/7 Support:
Round-the-clock assistance from trained professionals who understand your needs and promote your independence.
Daily Living Support:
Help with cooking, cleaning, laundry, and personal care — tailored to your abilities and routines.
Health and Wellbeing:
Medication reminders, appointment coordination, and ongoing health monitoring in collaboration with allied health professionals.
Skill Development:
Guidance in budgeting, meal planning, household organisation, and personal safety.
Community Engagement:
Assistance in joining local activities, exploring hobbies, and maintaining social connections.
Behavioural and Emotional Support:
Understanding and responsive care for participants with behavioural, emotional, or communication challenges.
Every participant receives a personalised support plan based on their NDIS goals, abilities, and preferences — ensuring care that truly fits their lifestyle.
Our SIL Approach
- At Ask for Care, we believe a home is more than a place to live — it’s a space to feel valued, respected, and empowered.
- Our SIL approach goes beyond basic support. We create environments that promote growth, learning, and community inclusion.
Our SIL model is based on:
Choice and Control
- You make the decisions about how you live — from your daily routines and activities to who supports you. We respect your autonomy and promote self-determination at every stage.
Goal-Focused Planning
Together with you and your support network, we develop plans that align with your personal and NDIS goals. Whether you want to improve your cooking skills, take public transport independently, or gain employment — we help you work towards it.
Community Integration
We actively support residents to connect with the wider community — through social outings, recreational programs, and volunteering opportunities. Our aim is to ensure every individual feels part of something bigger.
Skill Development
We focus on practical life skills — from managing money and preparing meals to maintaining hygiene and social communication — so you can become increasingly self-reliant.
Collaborative Support
We work in close partnership with families, guardians, and allied health professionals (OTs, psychologists, speech therapists, behaviour support practitioners) to ensure continuity and holistic care.
Our Homes and Living Environment
Our SIL homes are designed for comfort, safety, and community living, featuring:
- Spacious private and shared rooms
- Fully accessible amenities
- Modern kitchens and living areas
- Outdoor spaces for recreation and relaxation
- 24/7 on-site support staff
- Positive and inclusive home culture
We take care to match participants with compatible housemates based on shared interests, routines, and personalities — fostering a warm and harmonious home environment.
- A Day in a SIL Home at Ask for Care
- A typical day in one of our homes might include:
- Morning routines and breakfast with support staff assistance
- Personalised skill-building sessions (e.g., cooking or budgeting)
- Participation in community programs or volunteering
- Shared evening meals and relaxation activities
- Support with medication and bedtime routines
Every day is structured to encourage independence while ensuring each participant feels supported, secure, and part of a caring community.
Our Promise
At Ask for Care, we go beyond just providing support — we build opportunities.
Our goal is to empower participants to live independently, make choices, and feel proud of their achievements.
We are dedicated to helping you create a life filled with meaning, growth, and confidence — one day at a time.
