Questions to ask before making a supported living referral
A clear referral conversation helps identify the right level of support and whether supported living is suitable.
Before making a referral, it helps to gather a clear picture of the individual’s current routine, support needs, preferences, and desired outcomes.
Helpful questions include:
- What support is needed day to day?
- Is the person mostly independent?
- Would regular prompting, companionship, or routine support help?
- Are there risks around isolation, appointments, or medication prompting?
