Supported Independent Living (SIL) includes services and supports delivered in shared living arrangements. At Just Better Care we empower you to live the life you aspire to. We achieve this by ensuring your care plan is tailored to your needs and goals. Through a roster of care, our qualified nurses and support staff assist with 24 hours, 7 days a week support in your home, we offer nursing and clinical support including wound care and medication management, and also travel & transport, cooking, community participation, and activities of daily living.

When it comes to travel, and getting out and about, our experienced SIL team can offer a range of transportation and mobility options, to help you get to and from your destination as comfortably and easily as possible.

When it comes to the food you eat at home, our SIL team can support you in preparing and enjoying your favourite snacks and meals, the way you like them. Whether you have special dietary needs, need inspiration to spark up those taste buds, or would simply love some help with everyday cooking, we can offer the level of support and advice you want. We can work alongside you to plan some tasty meals for the week ahead, keep you company while you cook, or completely prepare your favourite meals just for you. Simply tell us what interests you, and we will work out a plan that suits.

We know how important it is to have all your essential food and other items stocked up at home. Our SIL team can accompany you on a trip to the closest supermarket, make the outing as smooth as possible for you, and unpack your groceries. If you are simply not feeling up to leaving home, no worries, our staff can head down to the supermarket with your own shopping list.

Everyday support with managing safe and effective use of daily medications is integral to leading your best life. Our qualified nurses will supervise or administer your daily medication and track progress to ensure that you are achieving your planned, therapeutic outcomes. All medication management is overseen by our registered nurse.

Getting out and about is an essential part of life, and our SIL team can support you in being part of the activities that matter to you. We offer a range of services from support to transport, to help you attend work or volunteer commitments, social outings, family gatherings, recreational activities, community events and more.

Everyday support with your activities of daily living is important to living independent at home. Our experienced and professional SIL team can assist with your personal care needs with complete respect for your privacy and dignity. This can include anything from bathing and showering, to personal hygiene and grooming, dressing, toileting and mobility support. We can also assist you with getting in and out of bed, as well as managing continence, and providing assistance in using continence aids and appliances. If there are tasks around home that you’d prefer not to do yourself, or some support you’d like with, you can rely on us. This could include anything from putting on a load of laundry or folding clothes, making your bed, vacuuming in and around home, and more.

Our registered nurse regularly check ins with our experienced SIL team to clarify any nursing or clinical concerns you might have. Simply let our SIL staff know what you need, and we’ll work out how we can best assist you.

For the best possible outcome, our nurses will apply evidence-based wound care knowledge and skills, follow up and review on a regular basis to ensure that infection deterioration is prevented and desired outcomes are achieved.
