Supported Independent Living Overview by Crossgain Care in Melbourne.

Supported Independent Living (SIL) provides you with a professional helper to manage everyday tasks. The aim is to help you learn and improve skills to live on your own. For those who need constant help, like 24-hour care, we offer the NDIS Supported Independent Living service. This can be in a shared house with others or in your own place with our staff helping you as needed. Crossgain Care is one of the leading providers of NDIS SIL in Melbourne, and we’re ready to support you!

What Supported Independent Living is about.

NDIS Independent living helps people with disabilities enjoy life like everyone else. The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is here to empower people with ongoing disabilities to make their own choices and live independently. If you want to live on your own, our NDIS support for independent living could be perfect for you. We offer nice shared homes in safe areas, with helpers available all the time, every day of the week.

Let’s talk about some big benefits of SIL NDIS:

1. Learning to be independent:

Getting your own place means you get to make your own choices and live the way you want. But what if you need a little help to do things on your own? 

At Crossgain Care, we have caring and trained staff ready to help you with:

Keeping clean, like taking baths and getting dressed

Making meals, tidying up, taking care of the garden, and washing clothes

Managing your money and keeping your home in order

Getting better at talking to people and making friends

Someone to stay with you during the night if you need it

When you get help from us, you can still be as independent as you like, knowing there’s someone there to help when you need it. And your family and friends can come by to see you anytime!

2. Freedom and safety:

It’s important to have the right mix of freedom and feeling safe. While you’ll share common areas like the living room with others, your bedroom is just for you. You can set it up and decorate it just the way you like. We always have more than one staff member around, all day and night, to help everyone living there. Our staff knows how to handle emergencies and make sure everyone is safe.

3. The help you need:

Starting life in a new place is exciting, but you might worry about missing your family or the people who usually take care of you. It’s normal to take some time to learn new life skills and build confidence after moving out. Our team is here not just to help with everyday things, but also to listen, understand what matters to you, and support your life’s goals.

FAQ

Who qualifies for Supported Independent Living?

If you have a disability and want to live on your own, independent living services could be right for you. If you’re part of the NDIS, you might be able to get these services if they decide you’re eligible. 

Living on their own helps people with disabilities make their own choices, build strong friendships, and enjoy everything society has to offer. They get the freedom they want and can get professional help whenever they need it.

If you get sick while in a supported independent living setup, a helper will be there for you if you’re unable to go to work or any daily programs. They can also help you get medical care and take you to your appointments if you need it.
