Supported Living
Supported Living services are designed to empower individuals with various abilities and needs to live as independently as possible within a community setting. These services provide a range of supports tailored to the individual’s specific requirements, fostering a sense of autonomy, choice, and inclusion. Ideal Care Services’ Supported Living program is dedicated to creating a nurturing environment where residents receive the necessary assistance while enjoying a sense of freedom and control over their own lives.
- Here are the key features and aspects of Supported Living services
Individualised Support Plans: Each resident receives a personalised support plan, developed in collaboration with the individual, their family, and any relevant professionals. These plans outline the specific services and supports needed to promote independence and well-being.
Safe and Comfortable Environment: Supported Living homes are designed to provide a safe, accessible, and comfortable living space that meets the unique needs of each resident.
24/7 Availability of Support: Trained staff members are available around the clock to provide assistance, ensuring that residents have access to the help they need, whenever they need it.
Assistance with Daily Living Activities: This may include support with tasks such as meal preparation, medication management, personal hygiene, and mobility assistance.
Community Engagement: Residents are encouraged to participate in community activities and events, promoting socialisation, skill-building, and a sense of belonging.
Encouraging Independence: Supported Living services are designed to help residents develop and maintain the skills necessary for independent living, while still providing the necessary support.
Advocacy and Empowerment: Staff members work as advocates for the residents, ensuring that their voices are heard, and their preferences are respected in all aspects of their lives.
Health and Well-being: Supported Living services may also include health monitoring, assistance with medical appointments, and guidance on maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Transition and Adjustment Support: For individuals transitioning from other living arrangements or experiencing changes in their care needs, Supported Living services provide a stable and supportive environment.
Access to Specialized Services: Depending on the individual’s needs, additional specialized services such as therapy, behavioural support, or medical care can be incorporated into the support plan.
Regular Review and Evaluation: Support plans are regularly reviewed and adjusted to ensure that they continue to meet the evolving needs and goals of the resident.
Respect for Choice and Dignity: Supported Living services prioritize the autonomy and dignity of each resident, allowing them to make choices about their daily routines, activities, and lifestyles.
