Supported Independent Living (SIL) support is daily assistance provided to people with disabilities to help them live as independently as possible in their own home or in a shared living arrangement. In Supported Independent Living (SIL) homes, every element of care matters, especially when it comes to maintaining personal dignity and day-to-day comfort. One essential yet often sensitive aspect of daily support is continence care. For individuals with disability, effective continence support can significantly improve quality of life, confidence, and health outcomes. 

Continence care is not just about hygiene, it’s about enabling individuals with disabilities to live freely, participate in daily life, and feel confident in their own skin. For many NDIS participants, having access to reliable, discreet, and comfortable continence products can mean fewer accidents, less anxiety, and greater independence. In a personcentred SIL home, continence care is planned around the individual, not a fixed schedule or one-size-fits-all approach. This begins with an understanding of each participant’s unique routine, preferences, and medical requirements. Support workers trained in continence management take time to get to know the participant, listen to their concerns, and deliver support in a way that feels natural and respectful. Continence support in Supported Independent Living (SIL) homes often includes a range of carefully selected products based on individual needs. This may include disposable or reusable pads and pull-up pants, waterproof bed protectors, mattress covers, toileting aids such as commodes or raised toilet seats, and skin friendly wipes and barrier creams. For larger individuals, selecting the right continence product is essential for both comfort and security. There are Bariatric aids specially designed for people with larger body shapes. It is longer, wider, and features high leakage barriers that provide greater coverage and reduce the risk of accidents. Such products offer enhanced protection and dignity for users who may not find standard-sized products effective, ensuring inclusivity in continence care.
