Who we assist

Samaritans provides SIL homes that cater for a wide range of people and support needs.

We have homes that are perfect for adults living with a disability who have complex support needs.
We also have homes that are ideal for adults with lower support needs who are wanting to achieve a balance between independent and supported living.
Some of our homes are also perfect for adults with mental health concerns.

We will make sure your SIL home is the right fit for you and your support needs.

The benefits of Samaritans Supported Independent Living

Quality care and support. Our compassionate and kind staff can provide 24/7 support. We can assist with personal care and daily living skills including cooking, shopping, medical needs, cleaning and transport.

Making friends. One of the great benefits of shared living is the opportunity to create strong bonds with your house mates. You will have the opportunity to bond with housemates who have similar interests, participate in day programs and interact with the local community as you go about your day.

Gaining independence. For many of our residents moving into Samaritans SIL is the first time they have lived outside of their family home. Our staff understand this is a big step and help ensure it is a smooth transition.

Finding a home that is right for you

We are committed to finding a home that is the right fit for you. We will work closely with you to identify your needs, goals and preferences to match you with the best home and housemates for you.

This might be one of Samaritans existing homes where we have a vacancy, or it might be a new home we are working to establish.

We would love to talk to you about how we can help find your home.
