Supported Independent Living

Living at home often presents a different set of challenges for those with moderate to high care needs. But equally, the home setting provides clients with a sense of familiarity, security and independence, which are all important factors in the provision of care.

What support is available for independent living?

Care1 offers personalised, flexible support that clients can fit into their lifestyle and home environment, delivered via a consistent support team who ensure care is provided in a way that promotes independence and positive outcomes.

We can supply care and support staff to maintain a range of community-based models, including:

Why is independent living so important?

A familiar setting provides clients with a sense of security and independence, which are important factors in delivering high-quality care outcomes. Sometimes what people need is practical support in their own home to empower their independent living goals.

Other times, care is required in a centre environment (including day programs). Regardless of the setting, what is important is giving our clients that important sense of independence and agency.

Our team can collaborate with you and your loved ones to understand personal goals and the funding available to develop an ideal supported independent living plan, no matter your circumstances or setting.
