Considering a Disability Group Home? Don’t Just Exist, Thrive.

Finding an environment that supports your independence and individuality is key to unlocking your full potential.

What factors should I consider when choosing NDIS accommodation?

When it comes to choosing a new home, it’s important to pick one that complements your support needs, personality, and ideal lifestyle. Here are some key considerations when choosing NDIS accommodation:

• Desired level of independence: How much support do you need with daily tasks to achieve your independence goals?

• Specific needs: Are there specific features you require, such as wider doorways, accessible bathroom facilities, or assistive technology in the home?

• Location preferences: Where would you feel most comfortable? Consider proximity to family, friends, public transport, or essential amenities.

Supported Independent Living

Supported Independent Living (SIL) is a NDIS-funded disability support that gives you the perfect balance of daily assistance and independence. It's not just about living somewhere; it's about living a life you design.

Unlike traditional NDIS group homes, SIL offers a more personalised approach. You choose your housemates, or live in an apartment that’s all yours, and have greater control over your daily routine. You’ll also build independent living skills with the support of qualified professionals.

The Benefits of Choosing SIL

There are a wide range of benefits that come with choosing SIL, offering you independence you can count on:

• Freedom and Choice: You make the call on everything from your day-to-day schedule to your meals.

• Develop life skills: Learn to cook, clean, manage finances, and build confidence for a more fulfilling life.

• Privacy and Personalisation: Enjoy your own space designed around your needs and preferences.

• Social Connections: Build friendships and participate in activities you enjoy within your community.

SIL vs NDIS Group Homes

Are you uninspired by the rigid routines and shared spaces of a NDIS group home? It doesn’t have to be that way. With SIL, you get to shape your days around what matters to you.  

You can wake up when you please, prepare your favourite breakfast, and tackle your day with confidence – all while knowing a team of qualified professionals is there to provide personalised support whenever you need it. This isn't just about living somewhere, it's about living a life planned by you, for you.
