What’s better than a warm slice of chocolate cake?
A home filled with laughter, support, and the sweet scent of accomplishment.
That’s exactly what unfolded this Easter in one of our Supported Independent Living (SIL) homes, where Heather and Caramel—two housemates with a beautiful bond—turned a simple baking session into something unforgettable.
A Cake, A Connection… and a Confidence Boost
This wasn’t just a baking session.
It was a moment of growth, connection, and independence.
While Heather took charge of the mixing, pouring, and icing, Caramel cheered her on from her comfy spot at the kitchen table—offering both encouragement and company. Their laughter echoed through the kitchen as rich chocolate batter turned into a warm, gooey masterpiece. The cherry on top? The proud smiles as the cake came out of the oven, perfectly baked.
Every stir of the spoon was a quiet win.
Every sprinkle of sugar, a little boost of confidence.
More Than Just a Home
Our SIL homes aren’t just about accommodation. They’re about empowerment, belonging, and living life on your own terms.
In this cosy home, Heather isn’t just baking a cake—she’s building skills, confidence, and independence. Caramel isn’t just enjoying the moment—she’s strengthening her social connections and sense of belonging.
This is what SIL should look like.
Not just support, but a place where NDIS goals are turned into real-life experiences.
