Discussing daily support and housing

Discuss the daily tasks you need help with, your preferred living arrangement and the people you want involved. Ask about support and housing separately before making a decision.

What support could include

  • Personal routines and everyday household tasks
  • Planning meals, shopping and preparing food
  • Building confidence with daily living skills
  • Working together on the right mix of support and independence

Planning daily support

Describe a usual day, including personal routines, meals and household tasks. Ask how support would be arranged, how workers would be introduced and how your preferences would be considered if you shared a home.

Check the home and support arrangements

Ask which costs relate to daily support and which relate to housing or everyday living. Check current home options, availability and the proposed agreements before deciding.

Questions about supported independent living

How is SIL different from the home itself?

Supported independent living describes support with daily tasks. Housing arrangements and support funding are separate things to discuss when exploring your options.

Can I explore a home before deciding?

A conversation and a visit can help you decide what feels right. Ask the team about current options and how introductions would work.

Housing and support agreements

Explore how housing or tenancy arrangements differ from paid SIL support, what each costs and your choices about support providers.
