Some people love living on their own. Others feel better with company at home. Both are valid, and both are worth trying to imagine before you decide.
Living alone might suit you if…
- You value quiet and control over your space.
- Your support hours cover the times you need someone there.
- You already have a strong social routine outside the home.
Sharing might suit you if…
- You enjoy having people around, especially in the evenings.
- You want overnight support that's shared with housemates.
- You are comfortable negotiating things like visitors and food.
Talk it through
Your Support Coordinator can walk through both options with you and, where possible, arrange short-term stays so you can try each before committing.
