What is CSIL Choice in Supports for Independent Living?
Introduction to CSIL Choice in Supports for Independent Living
CSIL Choice in Supports for Independent Living is a program for people who need more flexibility and control over your home care needs. If you have suffered a significant physical disability from an injury and are already receiving home care you may want to explore the CSIL program.
What is CSIL?
CSIL is your own home-based business where you receive funds directly from your local health authority to manage all aspects of your personal home care support. Home care programs are set up by the Health Authority who determines your eligibility and number of hours of care you need. They inform another agency about your care and you wait for them to set up your program and provide you the schedule. CSIL eliminates the agency responsible for organizing and providing your home care support. You are in control.
Benefits
The CSIL program reduces the time for hospital stays,
provides support for you when you must attend doctor or specialist appointments, eases the burden on family members to assist with your care, and physiotherapy may be available in your home which reduces your travel,
mobility, stress, and fatigue. CSIL lets you stay in your home as long as possible with your loved ones and allows you to be a part of your family’s daily life.
