Our locations
SIL homes in the area
Careable provides Supported Independent Living in Heidelberg Heights and Macleod — suburbs in Melbourne's north-east, within the Austin Health catchment area. Our homes offer on-site support for NDIS participants who need daily assistance to live as independently as possible.
Having SIL accommodation close to where a participant has been receiving hospital care can make the transition process more manageable — for the participant, their family and the clinical team involved. Participants can maintain existing connections with local services, community supports and health professionals after discharge.
Suitability for our SIL homes depends on each participant's needs, funding and our current capacity. Contact us to discuss whether we may be a good fit.
Why it matters
Why location matters
Proximity between a hospital setting and a participant's new SIL home can support smoother, safer transitions. When a participant moves into local accommodation, it is often easier for clinical teams to remain involved during the early weeks after discharge, and for the participant to access familiar community supports.
For participants transitioning from mental health settings in particular, maintaining continuity of care and avoiding abrupt geographical change can reduce transition stress and help establish stability more quickly.
- Participants remain close to existing clinical supports and community connections
- Easier coordination with hospital discharge teams during the early transition period
- Reduced disruption to the participant's established routines and networks
- Local SIL reduces travel burden for family members and support coordinators
How it works
The SIL transition process
Transitioning into a SIL home from hospital involves a structured process to ensure the right supports are in place from the outset. We follow a five-step discharge planning and execution process covering early referral, multidisciplinary planning, environment and staffing readiness, day-of-discharge execution and post-discharge monitoring.
