Supported Independent Living (SIL)
Supported Independent Living is about more than just a place to live – it’s about having a home where you feel safe, respected, and supported to live independently. At Your Support Circle, we create SIL homes that fit your lifestyle, needs, and preferences, while helping you build skills, confidence, and connection.
We take time to understand what matters most – location, lifestyle, routines, and even small details like space for pets or a garden. Through our trusted network of landlords, real estate partners, and community connections, we match participants with homes that feel safe, welcoming, and right for you. Whether you prefer quiet evenings, exploring your neighborhood, cooking together, or socializing with housemates, we create a household that respects your routines and lifestyle. Our team walks alongside you, supporting your choices and helping you develop new skills where you want them.
Our SIL homes can provide a range of support, including overnight assistance for participants with higher needs.
- Help with planning and cooking meals to enjoy healthy, balanced eating.
- Assistance with cleaning, laundry, and keeping your home organized.
- Support with showering, dressing, grooming, and mobility.
- Assistance to take medications safely and on time.
We provide practical support with everyday tasks so life feels manageable and comfortable:
Daily Living Support
- Budgeting: Learn to manage money, pay bills, and plan spending.
- Cooking: Gain confidence and independence in the kitchen.
- Social Confidence: Practice communication and build meaningful relationships.
- Assistance to take medications safely and on time.
SIL is also about developing skills so you can have more control over your life:
