What Is Independent Living?

Independent living refers to the ability for people with disabilities to live as autonomously as possible while receiving the right level of support. It focuses on choice, control and confidence in everyday life.

At Angels on Wheels, independent living support is designed around each person’s goals, preferences and living situation.

Understanding Independent Living

Independent living does not mean living without assistance. It means having support that enables people to make decisions, manage daily routines and live in a way that feels right for them.

What Independent Living Can Include

Support for independent living is flexible and tailored to individual needs.

Common Examples of Independent Living Support
  • Assistance with household tasks and routines
  • Support with budgeting and daily organisation
  • Help maintaining a safe and comfortable home
  • Guidance with planning and decision making
  • Accessing community services and supports

Why Independent Living Is Important

Independent living supports wellbeing, dignity and self confidence. Having control over daily life can positively impact emotional health and long term independence.
