SUPPORTED INDEPENDENT LIVING
Support at home that strengthens independence without taking over.
Supported Independent Living is about day-to-day assistance in the participant’s home environment. Live Life Support focuses on routines, communication, household responsibilities, personal preferences and agreed supports so the home remains the participant’s living space—not simply a place where services are delivered.
