What Is Supported Living and Who Can Benefit From It?

Supported living is designed to help individuals live as independently as possible while receiving the assistance they need with everyday life.

Unlike care that focuses only on completing tasks for someone, supported living encourages people to remain involved in their own decisions, routines and activities.

The type of support provided will depend on the individual’s circumstances. It may include assistance with personal care, cooking, household activities, shopping, medication, attending appointments, accessing the community and developing independent living skills.

Supported living can be suitable for adults with physical disabilities, additional support needs or anyone who requires regular assistance while still wanting greater control over their daily life.

Live-in care can offer a similar level of reassurance for people who prefer to remain in their own home but require more consistent support throughout the day.

The goal in both cases is to find the right balance between assistance and independence.

At SanTen Care Services, we believe every individual should have the opportunity to make choices about their own life. Our care is designed around personal goals, preferences and abilities rather than using the same approach for everyone.

The right supported living arrangement can provide reassurance for families while giving individuals the confidence and practical support they need to enjoy a more independent lifestyle.
