Support and matching
InLife Independent Living is the current SIL provider, with staff on site seven days a week and active overnight support available.
Applicants should have funding for active or inactive overnight supports, depending on their individual needs. Some current residents contribute to overnight support funding, while others do not.
Matching is completed collaboratively with the existing residents and support team to ensure the new tenant fits well with the group. Someone friendly, considerate and open to light social engagement would be ideal.
