Supported living

Everyone should be able to call their own place “home.” Our assisted living community also provides more than simply up-to-date, comfortable accommodations. It’s about establishing a network of people who care about you and who can help you succeed in ways you never thought possible.

We offer assisted living that empowers our residents to make positive decisions for themselves and improves their quality of life as a result.

Supported living, often known as’supportive living,’ is a service that enables people with various support requirements to live in their own homes while receiving the supplementary medical and emotional care they require to thrive.

How does one adjust to living in a supported environment?
We understand that for some, moving into supported living is the first time they have ever left their parents’ house or taken a significant step towards greater independence, and we want to make that first step as easy, positive, and fulfilling as possible. 

Supported living allows for individuals to maintain their sense of privacy and safety in their own homes.

Knowing that the Lifeways staff is there to offer individualised assistance in creating a more satisfying life among kindred spirits is reassuring. To make sure the person’s transition is as easy as possible on their loved ones, we also offer family counselling.

Individuals receiving services in a supported living environment are encouraged to pursue meaningful goals. We are here to support and encourage each and every goal, no matter how big or small it may be, whether it be learning a new life skill like cooking or money management, having the guts to take up a new hobby or make new friends, or taking the first step into volunteering or employment.

We understand how crucial it is to have a solid network of friends and allies by your side, which is why we take the time to carefully pair each client with a support team member who shares their interests, values, and expertise.

How do we go about making our preparations for assisted living?
After thoroughly learning about each individual’s background, present circumstances, and desired outcomes, we only then begin crafting individualised plans of care. Before providing care, we make sure we have all the essential information and have taken the time to listen to each person’s perspectives and requests through in-depth conversations with them, their loved ones, and any relevant care providers. Once a plan is in place to help someone live independently, we keep tabs on their development, praising their successes and encouraging them to aim even higher.
