People enjoy living independently, but this doesn’t mean living alone. It actually involves taking care of yourself and completing every-day activities without anyone’s assistance. For people with disabilities, independent living is like a boon as it can restore the feeling of their self-esteem and confidence. i-Help Disability Services run ‘Support Independent Living’ program, offering comprehensive support and care to disabled people across Eynesbury and the surrounding suburbs.

What Does This Program Involve?

The nature and level of the support that people receive under this program is boundless. Our experienced care-givers use their knowledge to develop personalised support strategies that help disabled individuals achieve their goals and live as independently as possible. Our support services are developed around the exact requirements of every individual to enhance their quality of life.

Supported Living Options:

Under this program, a disabled person can choose to live in an individual house or a shared accommodation where they can meet and establish friendship with people having the same condition, interest, likings and life goals. Whether you choose an individual or shared housing, we can make necessary alternations to ensure that you move around without getting anyone’s help.

What Do We Assist You With?

Those who are in supported living can receive the assistance of our care givers in completing the following tasks:

• Cleaning & laundry
• Showering, dressing and personal hygiene
• Maintaining a household
• Cooking & nutrition
• Managing appointments
• Filling forms and managing communications
• Financing and budget plans
• Developing social skills
• Taking up public transport
• Taking medications
• Accessing social and recreational events
• Shopping
• Much More

Above all, our care-givers work with the individuals to maximise their potential, encourage their self-determination, personalise their support and explore their aspirations which enable them to lead a full-fledged life. We also encourage the individuals to get out and mingle with others, access educational, social and employment opportunities. So, if you know someone who can benefit from our ‘support independent living’ program, don’t hesitate to give us a call on 03 9863 6959.
