What is SIL?

Supported Independent Living is a type of support designed to help individuals with disabilities live more independently while receiving the care they need. We provide assistance with daily tasks such as cooking, cleaning, personal care and more. We have a strong emphasis on giving our clients choice through developing their life skills, so they can experience greater independence. We create a supportive environment where individuals can thrive, build confidence, and enjoy a fulfilling lifestyle!

 

Benefits:

  • Access to the community with wheelchair-accessible vans at every home, allowing participation in activities and personal interests.
  • We teach essential life skills to build independence e.g. buying groceries, shopping, updating transport cards and more to empower individuals so they can live their best life.
  • Opportunities to make friends and have fun through our Eloma Day Programs.

Motor Vehicle Fleet

We have a van in the driveway ready for use! We take great pride in ensuring all of our clients have access to the community with our reliable and clean transportation options. That’s why we have invested over $1mil into vans including wheelchair vans. Our fleet of vehicles are here to help you get to your desired destinations conveniently and safely. However, we also understand the importance of independence, which is why we are more than happy to offer transport training for those who wish to enhance their travel skills.

Whether you prefer using our vehicles or are interested in becoming more self-sufficient with transportation, we are dedicated to supporting you every step of the way. If you want to use our vans you can sign over your transport allowance paid by NDIS.

Enjoy Pets and Hobbies

Pets play a significant role in our lives, providing us with love, companionship, and endless entertainment. Whether you’re a dog lover, cat enthusiast, bird watcher, or reptile lover, there’s something special about having a pet by your side. Hobbies are another essential aspect of our lives that bring joy and fulfillment. From gardening to painting, cooking to crafting, hobbies allow us to express ourselves creatively and relax after a long day. They provide an outlet for stress relief and serve as a way to connect with others who share similar interests. Having pets and hobbies at Eloma Care is not just encouraged, it’s celebrated! We believe that the presence of furry friends and engaging hobbies can greatly enhance home life and your overall well-being.
