Choosing A Home

Your care needs may change over time, and the right support will depend on both where you live and the personal choices you make.
Residential or Supported Living Services offer a balance of accommodation, care, and personal support for people with light to moderate care needs. Domiciliary (home-based) care is also available in most communities.
Residential Care Homes provide higher levels of support, usually for adults who need 24-hour care and supervision, along with extensive assistance with daily activities such as eating, bathing, and toileting.
At the heart of it, you’re not just choosing a home, you’re choosing the right home.

What to Consider

Finding the right home means considering your unique needs, preferences, and circumstances. Important factors may include:

  • Physical health and level of independence
  • Cognitive and mental health needs
  • Personal interests and lifestyle preferences
  • Financial situation and available funding
  • Family involvement and social support

Once you’ve identified potential homes, ask yourself what matters most:

  • Location, size, and reputation of the service
  • Atmosphere and culture of the home
  • Ability to meet current and future care needs
  • Specialist programs or therapeutic support
  • Urgency of placement
