At Ellie Jane Support Services, we believe in providing more than just a roof over our participants' heads; we’re committed to creating homes that foster independence, community, and a sense of belonging. Our Independent Living Options (ILO) are designed to offer the support participants need while empowering them to live a fulfilling, independent life in a way that feels right for them.
What Are Independent Living Options (ILO)?
Independent Living Options, or ILO, is an NDIS framework that allows participants to choose how they want to live—whether that’s in shared housing, with a housemate, or in a more supported setting with tailored assistance. The goal of ILO is to give participants the flexibility to live independently, with the assurance that their support needs are met. It’s all about creating living arrangements that suit individual lifestyles, preferences, and goals.
At Ellie Jane Support Services, we specialise in making these options accessible and sustainable, offering participants a real opportunity to build a life on their terms.
How We’re Making Independent Living Accessible
Our ILO homes are designed to meet the unique needs of each participant while keeping costs manageable. Here’s how we’re making it possible:
Shared Supports: In our shared housing model, participants with similar goals and lifestyles live together, sharing support for daily routines. This not only keeps costs down but also allows participants to enjoy more presence and companionship at home, with support available during shared activities like cooking or mealtime.
Tailored Support Plans: Every participant receives a personalised support plan that aligns with their goals, interests, and daily needs. We work closely with participants to understand what independence means to them and ensure they’re getting the assistance they need to achieve it.
Safe, Comfortable Homes: Our homes are chosen and designed with accessibility and comfort in mind. We ensure that each space is welcoming, functional, and promotes independence, with private areas for downtime and shared spaces to foster community.
Skilled Support Workers: Our team of compassionate, experienced support workers is dedicated to creating a supportive environment that encourages growth and independence. Whether it’s assisting with household tasks, helping with community outings, or providing emotional support, our team is here to empower participants to live the life they envision.
Why Choose an Independent Living Option?
The benefits of independent living are vast. Participants in our ILO homes have the chance to:
Develop Essential Life Skills: Independent living provides the space and support for participants to learn skills that are essential to daily life, from cooking and cleaning to managing a household.
Build a Supportive Community: Living with others who have similar goals fosters a sense of camaraderie and mutual support. Participants enjoy shared activities, social outings, and the daily interactions that come with living in a shared environment.
Enjoy Greater Autonomy: With ILO, participants have the opportunity to live on their own terms. Our flexible support models ensure they have the assistance they need without compromising on independence.
Grow in a Secure Environment: Our homes are safe spaces where participants feel supported, respected, and encouraged. With round-the-clock support available as needed, our homes offer the best of independence and security.
