SUPPORTED LIVING SERVICE

• This service is funded through the Ministry of Health to assist the person to live in their own home, in a situation of their own choosing and to establish community lives that they consider to be personally rewarding.
• This means that each person has a unique living and support arrangement. Our main role is to facilitate and develop a personalised support system around each person’s needs and aspirations, focusing on community belonging and making the best use of natural and community supports.
• Eligibility for this service is assessed through the local Needs Assessment and Service Coordination Service.

VOCATIONAL SERVICES
