Supported Independent Living or Shared Living
Shared living has so many different options and variations that if we listed them all we wouldn’t have enough space on this website. But to put it simply, shared living is when you live with someone or someone lives with you. Shared living is not a traditional group home.
Shared living is based on the idea that someone may need extra or different supports so they can live independently away from what they have usually called home.
It may include:
- Having a housemate that helps you out once in a while.
- It could mean having a range of visiting support people along with a housemate.
- Just visiting support.
- You live in someone else’s house fulltime, or part-time, and they provide you with the support you need.
These are a few ways it works, so regardless of how you set it up, the end result is should always be – providing a safe and life-enriching environment for people to be as independent as possible.
The possibilities are endless and are really only limited by your imagination.
