Independent living services offer individuals with disabilities the chance to live independently while still receiving the support they need to manage their daily lives. The SILs (Supported Independent Living Services) provided by Jovials are tailored to meet each person’s unique needs, empowering them to thrive in a community-oriented setting.
In this blog post, we'll explore SIL services, their benefits, and how The Jovials ensures its participants receive the best care and support possible.

What are Supported Independent Living Services?

Supported independent living services include help with daily tasks like cooking, cleaning, taking care of personal hygiene, and managing medications. SIL services also ensure individuals can access the community, participate in activities, and live safely and comfortably in their own space.

These services can be flexible. Some individuals prefer to live alone, while others choose shared accommodation. The goal is to create an environment where each person can live independently, pursue their interests, and get the help they need when they need it.

Benefits of a Plan Manager

• Increased Independence: SIL services allow participants to improve their living ability without increased dependency. Whether in the assistance of personal care, running of finances, or understanding of the community, the system fosters independence by compelling them to take charge in every way and build essentials.
• Personalized Support: The Jovials realize that all participants are unique, hence individual support plans. Whether it's cooking support, cleaning, medication support, or any other form of social activity, we ensure you have the right support.
• Community Integration: SIL services are designed to promote community-based living support. Participants are facilitated to improve their relationship with the community, their social participation in community and local affairs events, and so on. This eventually gives them a feeling of belonging, so they do not get socially isolated, which is common among disabled people.
• Safety and Comfort: The Jovials ensure that all living arrangements are always safe and comfortable. Whether you sleep in a shared home or independent living accommodation, we create an environment where participants feel secure and at ease. Our team is equipped to handle any situation and will always ensure that your well-being comes first.
• Skill Development: SIL Services enhances people's participation in acquiring essential living skills, such as budgeting, cooking, and personal hygiene. Empowering participants will eventually render them more self-sufficient in the future.
• Flexible Accommodation Options: The Jovials offer different choices in flexible accommodation based on the needs and requirements of the participants. This range includes shared housing and independent living, allowing participants to choose an arrangement according to lifestyle and one that matches an appropriate level of support.

SIL is a support service that balances independence with support, thus helping the person with disabilities live safely and confidently. The most important benefits of SIL include personal care, skill development, and increased involvement in the community. SIL enables participants to reach their goals with the support they need.

Eligibility for Supported Independent Living Services

Eligibility is mainly determined by the individual's NDIS plan and the support needed. SIL services are usually accessible to people with disabilities who require support in daily living but still want to have independence. The participants need to meet the following qualifications:

• Have an NDIS Plan: SIL services are available through the National Disability Insurance Scheme, so you need to be an NDIS participant with an approved plan containing funding for SIL support. If you need to know whether you qualify for the NDIS program, call your NDIS planner to discuss your needs.
• Require Support with Daily Activities: SIL services also cater to people who require help in daily activities, which include personal care, cooking, cleaning, and social activities. Also, the level of support tends to vary from one person to another, and all this support is tailored and fitted to an individual's need through services offered by The Jovials.
• Have a Want to Live Independently: SIL services are available for anyone who wants to live independently, at least to some degree. The Jovials assist participants intensely so they ultimately gain the power to live as independently as possible, only the help they may need to remain thriving.
• Safe environment: SIL services assist people who are not fully capable of living independently but still desire to maintain as much independence as they need. The Jovials offer a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment to help participants live with dignity.

You may be eligible for SIL services through The Jovials if you meet these requirements. Our team will work with you to develop a support plan that suits your needs and goals.
