Individualised Living Options (ILO)
Create the home and support arrangement that works for you with Empowering Connection.
About Individualised Living Options
ILO is an NDIS flexible living option that allows participants to design their own living arrangement, support network and independence pathway. Empowering Connection specialises in creating ILO packages that are safe, sustainable and deeply personalised.
Our ILO services include:
Exploration and Design Phase
We start by exploring the participant’s goals, preferences, and lifestyle choices. This phase includes discussing what independence looks like for them, identifying supports needed, and designing a living arrangement that is person-centred, safe, and sustainable.
Rostering, Support Plans & Escalation Protocols
To ensure continuity and quality of care, we develop clear rostering schedules, detailed support plans, and escalation protocols for emergencies or unexpected situations. This ensures participants receive consistent, reliable, and responsive support at all times.
Developing Your Formal and Informal Networks
A strong support network is key to successful living arrangements. We work with participants to identify formal supports, such as paid support workers and allied health professionals, and informal supports, like family, friends, and community connections, to ensure comprehensive and consistent care.
Ongoing Monitoring, Training and Case Coordination
We provide continuous monitoring of supports to ensure effectiveness and safety. Our team coordinates with staff, provides ongoing training, and liaises with allied health professionals to adjust care plans as needs change or new goals emerge.
Setting Up Safe and Sustainable Living Arrangements
We help participants create living environments that are safe, functional, and tailored to their individual needs. This includes assessing the property, implementing risk management strategies, and ensuring accessibility and comfort for day-to-day living.
Assistance to Explore Co-Residency, Host Living or Independent Arrangements
Participants can explore different living options based on their preferences and goals. We provide guidance and support to evaluate co-residency, host family arrangements, or fully independent living, helping them make informed choices and transition smoothly into the arrangement that suits them best.
ILO is About Your Choice, Your Home, Your Life.
We put you at the centre of every decision about where and how you live, working closely with you to create a living environment that is safe, supportive, and truly your own. From designing personalised supports and coordinating your network to managing daily routines, safety, and affordability, our team provides the guidance and oversight to help your home be a place where you can thrive. With Empowering Connection, your goals, preferences, and independence guide everything we do, so your home reflects your life, your choices, and your aspirations.
