In SIL, participants receive a fully supported living arrangement with continuous care. Each home is set up to be accessible and welcoming – participants usually have private bedrooms and shared living spaces, and staff make sure daily routines are accommodated. Support workers assist with morning and evening routines, cook meals, help with laundry and cleaning, and encourage skill-building. For instance, a staff member might cook alongside a resident to teach them a recipe, or help a resident practice money management by budgeting for groceries. All personal care is handled with dignity and encouragement. Importantly, SIL also includes planning for independence: support workers help participants access the community and engage in activities outside the home safely. The end result is a living environment that feels like home, where each person’s independence and personal growth are actively promoted.
