Supported Independent Living (SIL) caters to the needs of seniors who require additional in-home support to assist with their daily living needs in a retirement village setting.
Where in-home assistance is required, it is provided by a registered Home Care Provider, whilst Catalina’s specific supported living villas enable ease of living and a more efficient and affordable delivery of in-home services for residents.
These home care services can be subsidised through government funded programs such as the Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP) or a Home Care Package (HCP), or alternatively they can be self-funded by the resident.
