Supported living

Supported living is a type of healthcare service that is designed to help individuals who require assistance with daily living activities to live as independently as possible in their own homes or in the community. It is often used for individuals who have disabilities or chronic health conditions, and who may need support with tasks such as bathing, dressing, and meal preparation.

The goal of supported living is to provide the necessary support and resources to help individuals live as independently as possible, while also promoting their autonomy and choice. This may include aiding with tasks such as personal care, transportation, and managing medications, as well as access to resources such as therapy and rehabilitation services.
