SUPPORTED LIVING
A setting that fits the person.
Housing and support schedules are planned around the person’s strengths, wishes, culture and assessed needs. Consent, suitability, availability, staffing and funding are confirmed together.
Simtiar-supported room, apartment or suite
A room, apartment, private basement suite or program-supported unit with scheduled caregiver or staff support. Coaching can include tenancy, meals, cleaning, budgeting, appointments and community participation.
Community-based supported independent living
Scheduled visits and phone or virtual check-ins in the person’s apartment, room, family home or other community residence. Suitable when they can manage safely between contacts without continuous staff presence.
Room-and-board or shared living
A shared arrangement chosen around personal preferences. Shared Living can accommodate up to three residents, with private bedrooms and agreed support. Planning covers privacy, fees, household expectations, boundaries and safety.
Contracted support home or shared-living placement
A screened setting with agreed oversight and monitoring. When Simtiar has placement, contracting or monitoring responsibility, household members, safety, staffing and emergency arrangements are reviewed for the individual.
Family-home transition support
Build household skills, financial readiness, transport skills and adult-service connections while living with family and planning a future move. Caregiver communication and transition responsibilities are agreed together.
Step-down & transition support
A coordinated move from child intervention, family or group care, TAP, hospital or another service. Planning may include identification, income applications, housing preparation, life skills and follow-up.
Short-term stabilization & housing retention
A time-limited increase in scheduled contact or an approved temporary arrangement during instability. Support may include landlord communication, urgent appointments, case conferences and safety-plan review, within ASIL’s scope.
