Independent living in a state-of-the-art apartment in convenient Rockdale

Under Sylvanvale’s Individual Apartment Living (IAL) model of support, our highly trained team is on hand to respond to calls for assistance, whether it be for something small or something more serious.

• Access to 24/7 assistance for unplanned supports that are not part of a resident’s routine daily activities (runs separately and complementary to regular individual support services, which are facilitated by each resident’s chosen provider)
• Optional – Sylvanvale Flexible Support is available through each resident’s Core Supports funding for planned support that helps them to complete daily living activities at an individual ratio
• Optional – Where agreed by all residents, Collective Support is available for residents in Individual Apartment Living to pay for extra Sylvanvale staff on site for planned supports at a shared ratio.

This service is ideally suited to someone who wants the privacy and independence of living in their own home, while having a person available (on-site but not in their apartment) to lend a hand if they need it.

Individual Apartment Living is suited to people who:

• Need a housing design that provides accessibility and high physical support features, technology, home automation and call onsite staff as required
• Want automation to help them control their environment, including to open doors and blinds
• Would like to be more independent but need support to maintain their independence
• Are comfortable with managing and identifying risks in their own home
• Are confident in running their own household, such as buying their own food and managing rent with the landlord
• Manage their own health and wellbeing planning either by themselves or through someone in their core support network
• Like having other neighbours living close by in apartments and sharing facilities such as lifts and entry foyers
• Can afford to live alone without any housemates to share expenses with
• Are happy to work closely with other residents who use the service, to shape how Sylvanvale’s support will be shared in a way that meets everyone’s individual needs.
