Supported Independent Living (SIL)

Support that helps you live safely, comfortably and confidently at home

Personalised Daily Support in a Safe, Comfortable Home

Supported Independent Living (SIL) is all about helping you live as independently as possible while receiving the right level of daily support. EJ Care provides tailored SIL assistance within safe, comfortable homes, supporting participants with day-to-day routines, personal care and community access.

Our team delivers reliable, person-centred support that respects your choices, preferences and lifestyle. We assist NDIS participants across Melbourne’s Eastern Suburbs with consistency, compassion and genuine care.

How We Support SIL

SIL support is built around your needs, routines and goals. Depending on your requirements, we can assist with:

  • Personal care such as hygiene, grooming, dressing and toileting
  • Meal preparation, healthy routines and daily nutrition
  • Medication reminders and basic monitoring
  • Household tasks including cleaning, laundry, organisation and general home upkeep
  • Support maintaining a stable, structured day-to-day routine
  • Building comfort, wellbeing and independence at home
  • Assistance accessing community activities, appointments and social opportunities
  • Overnight support when required for safety, reassurance or regular monitoring

Support is delivered in a way that feels empowering, respectful and consistent with your preferred daily rhythm.
