Supported Independent Living

Brightwater Supported Independent Living Header Banner

A home to belong

Supported independent living accommodation from Brightwater is designed so each resident achieves the best possible quality of life. NDIS funding provides support for day-to-day tasks, so people with disability can be independent and learn new skills while living in a Brightwater house.

Our experience in residential accommodation helps ensure each client achieves optimal results for their situation. When recommending placements, we consider where friends and family live, what’s around the new neighbourhood and if your new housemates are a good fit for you.

Brightwater’s approach to Supported Independent Living (SIL)

Brightwater’s SIL accommodation provides modern, comfortable living spaces and attractive community areas. Our houses are designed to give clients privacy and peace while enabling them to be as independent as possible.

A Brightwater support person is available to help with day-to-day tasks such as showering and getting dressed, cooking meals, and eating.

Our residential homes are:

  • Shared accommodation, each person has their own room
  • Close-knit and cosy
  • Supported by trained Brightwater staff, including sleepover shifts and overnight assistance
  • Accessible and functional, with modifications like hoists, ramps and handles if required
  • Close to local amenities, community services and public transport
  • Equipped with a shared computer and wi-fi access.

Our homes are tailored to different levels of support, so we’ll work with you to find a vacancy that’s suitable for your needs.

Backed by research

Brightwater is the only WA disability services provider with a dedicated Research Centre. We collaborate with national and international universities to find innovative solutions to improve the quality of the lives of people we care for, both in our residential accommodation and in their own home.
