Independent Living Options
Independent Living Options (ILO) offers a unique approach to living independently, with support tailored to fit your needs, lifestyle, and preferences. Unlike traditional living arrangements, ILO gives Participants the flexibility to create a home environment that works best for them.
This might mean living alone with periodic support, sharing a home with friends, or even having a housemate as a backup support option. ILO is all about choice and control, making it possible to shape your ideal living situation with the right support network around you.
At Empowered Community Services, we provide periodic support for participants living in Independent Living Options (ILO) arrangements to help them enjoy the freedom of independent living with the confidence that assistance is available when needed. Our team understands that each individual has unique routines, preferences, and goals, so we tailor our support to align with the participant’s lifestyle. This could include anything from scheduled visits for assistance with daily tasks to support with community engagement, all based on the participant’s personal requirements.
How Does It Work?
The journey starts with an intake meeting to explore your goals, needs, and what an ideal living setup looks like for you. Once that’s clear, a detailed support plan is created, which might involve friends, family, and paid support to provide assistance when needed. This means that you have a team dedicated to making sure your home life is just as you envisioned it. Flexibility is key, so as your needs or interests change, your support plan can adapt, ensuring your independence continues to grow with you.
