Our Supported Independent Living (SIL) service provides help or supervision with daily tasks in your home to promote independence while enhancing your skills. It’s paid personal support, commonly used in shared living setups. Tasks include personal care assistance and meal preparation. SIL is tailored for individuals needing higher support requiring assistance daily, including overnight aid. It’s ideal for people with disabilities needing consistent support to manage daily living, fostering independence within a supportive environment.

Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) is special housing for people with severe disabilities or high needs. It helps them get the support they need. SDA homes are often shared with a few others, but some people can live alone if it suits them. The funding for SDA covers the housing itself. But you still might need to pay rent or other expenses. It doesn’t cover the support services you might need in the home.

If you don’t need 24/7 assistance, drop-in support could be a choice. With drop-in services, you can live in Supported Independent Living (SIL) houses or your own home. Carers come to help you at different times of the day. This way, you can get support when you need it, but you don’t have someone with you all the time. It gives you more freedom to do things on your own while still getting the help you require.

Shared living under the NDIS offers participants a supportive and inclusive environment where individuals with similar needs live together, sharing accommodation and receiving tailored support services. This arrangement promotes social connection, independence, and cost-effective care, while enabling participants to work towards personal goals within a homely setting. At Grandsheffield, we carefully match housemates to foster compatibility and wellbeing, ensuring each resident receives the right level of assistance with daily tasks, community participation, and life skills development—creating a safe, empowering space where everyone feels respected, valued, and supported.
