Welcome to Sunflower Services, where Supported Independent Living (SIL) transcends the ordinary. What sets us apart is not just our commitment to providing support but the ownership of our SIL homes, eliminating the hassle of landlords or real estates. Imagine a home that is truly yours, where comfort and care intertwine seamlessly.
Our SIL homes are more than structures; they are havens of warmth and tranquility. Manned by our dedicated support workers, passionate and available 24/7, we create an environment where your well-being is the top priority.

Our support workers go beyond the conventional, engaging in activities tailored to your interests.

SIL is focused on helping you:
Develop and maintain daily routines
Build life skills like cooking, cleaning, or managing appointments
Gain confidence through consistent, reliable support
Stay safe and supported in a home that suits your needs
It’s all about empowering you to live the way you want — with the right supports in place, when and how you need them.

You might be suited to SIL if you:
Need help with daily tasks like cooking, cleaning, or personal care
Would benefit from routine and structure in your day
Require overnight or ongoing support from trained staff
Are looking to build confidence and independence in your own space
