Supported Independent Living That Feels Like Home

Libra Care’s Supported Independent Living support everyday life while promoting growth and independence. We offer a fun, inclusive, and supportive environment where residents can feel safe, connected, and valued .

What is SIL?

At Libra Care, our Supported Independent Living (SIL) services are designed to help people with disability live as independently as possible, while still receiving the right level of day-to-day support.

We understand that moving into supported living is a big step for individuals and families alike. That’s why our approach focuses on choice, dignity, safety, and meaningful community participation, rather than just accommodation.

Whether you’re looking for shared living, individual accommodation, or short-term respite, our Supported Living services provide a stable environment where people can build life skills, confidence, and routines at their own pace.

Our Supported Living Services Include

We provide a comprehensive suite of supports designed to meet the complex needs of people engaged with the Supported Independent Living systems:

Shared Accommodation

Our shared accommodation provides supported living for two to four people in a safe, well-matched household. Residents are carefully matched to encourage positive relationships, shared routines, and independence, while maintaining choice, autonomy, and access to support.

Individual Accommodation

Our individual accommodation options support private, independent living in fully equipped homes. With access to transport, local amenities, and community connections, residents can live confidently knowing support is available when required.

Respite Accommodation and Support

Libra Care offers short-term respite accommodation to support individuals while giving families and carers a break.
