Adult Supported Independent Living.

Practical support. Personal goals. Growing independence.

Our ASIL program uses trauma-informed care to help people build everyday skills and maintain a stable home and community life. Support respects privacy, personal choice and the person’s control over their goals. Post-Majority / TAP arrangements support eligible young adults ages 18–26. PDD-related adult support planning can be explored separately.

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.

Privately funded adult support.

Individuals and families can discuss privately funded support within the Adult Supported Independent Living program. Depending on the person’s needs and the suitability of the arrangement, care may take place in shared living or an individually supported home.

A supported private suite can provide personal space, with an agreed caregiver or staff presence elsewhere in the home. The schedule, responsibilities and emergency arrangements are defined in the individual plan.

Private pay describes how the service is funded. Housing, staffing, daily care and any professional services are planned separately. Fees, responsibilities and available support are confirmed in writing before services begin.

FLEXIBLE ASSISTANCE

The right level of support.

Daily or near-daily scheduled support

Intensive

Frequent coaching, extended visits or several daily contacts to strengthen routines, housing stability, health and safety. Review at least every 30 days during the intensive period, or sooner after significant change.

Normally 2–4 scheduled contacts weekly

Moderate

Regular coaching and coordination build on tasks the person already manages. Progress is reviewed through notes and each 90-day service-plan review, or sooner as needs change.

Weekly, biweekly or monthly contact

Light maintenance

Periodic check-ins, tenancy support, advocacy, renewals and help with occasional problems. Reviews occur as agreed, on request or when stability changes.

Temporary additional assistance

Urgent, time-limited support

Extra coordination and short-term stabilization during changes in housing, health, services or daily life, within ASIL’s scope. The next support level, funding needs or alternative service are reviewed promptly.

Scheduled ASIL support does not automatically include continuous or 24-hour staffing. Frequency, availability, staffing and response arrangements are specified in the individual agreement.

PERSON-CENTRED PLANNING

Your goals. Your own plan.

Each person helps shape their Individual Service Delivery Plan: strengths, preferences, communication and cultural needs, goals, practical steps, supports and safeguards. We agree on contact arrangements, explain support clearly and review concerns without judgment.

Everyday skills that matter

Goals can include cooking, budgeting, cleaning, personal care, appointments, transportation, education, employment and community participation. Skills are practised in real-life situations at a manageable pace.

Review, transitions & continuity

Each person has an individual plan and progress record. Family, guardians, cultural supports and other partners contribute through appropriate consent and authority. Planning for a move or the end of services starts early.
