Practical planning guide

Plan support for living more independently

Questions for someone considering personal assistance, more support at home or supported community accommodation.

Practical next steps

Write down where and how you want to live and which choices are most important to you.
Discuss assistance needs across an ordinary day and night, including times when your usual supporter is unavailable.
Ask Sapport which home-based and community options fit before considering a move.
If asking about personal assistance, confirm age criteria, assessment, what can be funded and responsibilities for arranging support.
If accommodation is being considered, ask about accessibility, location, who else lives there, vacancies and how your views will be included.
Request a clear explanation of contributions, agreements, review arrangements and what happens if the arrangement does not suit you.
Agree a transition and backup plan with the professionals and people you choose to involve.
