Independent Supported Living Services | Flexible & Empowering Care
Independent supported living is a person‑centred approach that enables people with disabilities to live independently while receiving tailored, ongoing assistance.
Designed to promote choice, dignity, and autonomy, this model supports individuals to live in their own homes—or shared housing—without sacrificing safety or quality of care.
What Is Independent Supported Living?
Independent supported living (ISL) supports individuals to manage daily life with customised assistance based on their personal goals and needs. Rather than fitting into a system, support is built around the individual.
Support may include:
Assistance with daily living tasks (cooking, cleaning, personal care)
Support with medication and health routines
Skill‑building for independence and confidence
Help accessing community activities, education, or employment
The goal of independent supported living is to support independence—not replace it.
