Supported Independent Living

Live with more comfort, freedom, and choice

Our Supported Independent Living options help you live more independently, with the right support to make daily life easier. Whether it’s a long-term home or a short stay, we’re here to make the process straightforward and supportive.

Our approach

Support that fits how you choose to live

Everyone has different routines, habits, and ways of doing things — and those don’t stop just because you’re receiving support. We take the time to understand what a good day looks like for you, then shape our support around that. 

Whether it’s help with cooking, medication, personal care or just getting settled into a new space, we’ll make sure everything feels familiar, flexible, and respectful of how you like things done. It’s your space — we’re just here to make it easier to live well in it.

We provide stable, well-supported home environments where you can build daily living skills and enjoy greater independence. This includes assistance with personal care, cooking, cleaning, medication, and general routines. 

Whether you’re living alone or with housemates, we’ll tailor support to your needs while creating a space that feels like your own.

Short Term Accommodation (STA)

Short stays can offer a welcome break — for both participants and families. Our STA options give you a safe, comfortable place to stay with all your support needs covered. It’s a great chance to try something new, meet new people, or simply recharge in a supportive environment. 

Whether planned or last-minute, we’ll make sure the experience is smooth, respectful, and enjoyable.

Medium Term Accommodation (MTA)

If you’re waiting for your permanent home to be ready or need somewhere to stay during a transition, MTA provides a stable, temporary living arrangement. 

We support you with everything from daily care to goal-setting while you wait for long-term housing. It’s more than just a place to stay — it’s support to keep you moving forward while things are being sorted out.

The right living setup can change everything

How home life shapes your daily life

Your home environment has a huge impact on your comfort, your confidence, and your ability to build independence. That’s why we take the time to make sure your living situation feels right — not just functional. 

With the right people around you, routines that work, and support that respects your space, you can feel more in control of your day-to-day life. Whether it’s long-term or temporary, we’ll work with you to create a home where you feel safe, supported, and fully yourself.

Ready to get started?

If you’re looking for support or know someone who is, there are two easy ways to begin. You can access VWC Care Services directly, or send through a referral — whichever works best for you. 

We’d love to hear from you and discuss how our support can make a positive impact in your life, or the life of someone you know.
