At Evercare Enterprises, we understand the importance of clear and comprehensive information to help you make informed decisions about your care and support. This FAQ section is designed to address common questions related to our services.
Here you will find valuable insights and answers to help you navigate the process, maximise your experience, and achieve your goals.
Supported Independent Living is a type of support under the NDIS that helps individuals with disabilities live independently or in shared accommodation. It provides daily support for tasks such as cleaning, cooking, and personal care.
To be eligible for SIL funding, you must have a NDIS plan with funding for Supported Independent Living, be over 18 years old, and require 24/7 support. You can live in shared accommodation or be funded for 1:1 SIL supports.
The NDIS assesses whether the supports will help you pursue your goals, improve or maintain your ability to perform tasks, reduce your need for one-on-one support, and foster better connections with family, community, health services, education, and employment. Based on this, the NDIS determines if SIL meets the funding criteria.
Evercare provides comprehensive services to support individuals in maintaining their independence. These services include assistance with daily living activities, personal care, and skill development to help clients live safely and comfortably in their own homes.
Evercare offers highly personalised services, allowing you to choose the specific support you need. You can work with their team to create a customised care plan that aligns with your goals and preferences
Yes, Evercare’s caregivers are professional, licensed, and thoroughly vetted to ensure they provide high-quality care. The team has a deep understanding of each caregiver’s skills and experience, enabling them to match you with the best possible care
The number of people you can live with varies, but typically, SIL settings can range from living alone to shared accommodation with several other participants. The arrangement depends on your individual needs and the availability of homes.
No, you do not have to move in full-time immediately. The transition process can be tailored to your needs, and support workers can help you adjust to your new living situation gradually
Respite care provides temporary relief for primary caregivers, allowing them to take a break and recharge. Evercare’s respite services can be arranged for short or long periods, giving caregivers the time they need while ensuring the client receives continuous care.
There are several types of respite care, including in-home respite, centre-based respite, and host family respite. Each type offers different settings and levels of support.
When choosing respite care, consider the individual’s needs and preferences, location and accessibility, staff qualifications and experience, safety and security measures, and availability and cost.
Respite care can be funded through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). It can cover up to 14 days at a time if the usual support system is unavailable and up to 28 days per year for short-term accommodation (STA).
Yes, respite care services can be tailored to meet individual needs. Discuss your specific requirements with the provider to ensure a personalised care plan.
Evaluate the quality of accommodation facilities, meals and nutrition, activities and recreation, health and personal care services, and transport and accessibility options.
MTA is a support provided under the NDIS, offering temporary housing and support for individuals with disabilities who are in transition between living arrangements.
To be eligible for MTA, you must have a disability covered by the NDIS, a planned long-term home, and the need for temporary accommodation.
MTA funding covers expenses like rent and utilities associated with living in a temporary place but does not cover day-to-day living costs such as food or internet.
The benefits include providing a safe and supportive living environment, ensuring continuity of care and support, offering customised support, improving quality of life, reducing hospital and aged care reliance, and supporting diverse transition scenarios.
Yes, MTA can be used in conjunction with other NDIS supports, such as respite care, to provide comprehensive support during transitional periods.
Yes, both respite care and MTA can be used together to provide comprehensive support. For example, an individual might use respite care for short breaks while also being in MTA for a longer transitional period.
The key differences are the duration (respite care is typically short-term, while MTA is used for longer transitional periods), purpose (respite care provides a break for caregivers and additional support, while MTA serves as a bridge between living arrangements), and funding (both are funded through the NDIS but serve different purposes within the person’s care plan).
To find the right provider, assess your needs, research providers in your area, consider location, accessibility, staff qualifications, and services provided. Contact our team to discuss service options, availability, and pricing, and check for NDIS accreditation.
In-Home care, also known as home care, is any professional support service that helps sick, disabled, or elderly individuals live safely and comfortably in their homes. It involves specific supports such as personal care, domestic assistance, transport assistance, and community participation.
To be eligible for In-Home care, you must be a NDIS participant, meaning you have a significant or permanent disability and are below 65 years old. Those 65 years or older can access In-Home care services through the Commonwealth Home Support Programme.
Evercare offers a range of In-Home Support services, including personal care, domestic assistance, meal preparation, and help with daily living activities. These services are designed to support you in living comfortably and independently in your own home.

Yes, In-Home care can be combined with other NDIS supports such as Respite Care, Medium Term Accommodation (MTA), and Supported Independent Living (SIL) to provide comprehensive support tailored to your needs.
In-Home care focuses on providing support within the individual’s own home, while Supported Independent Living (SIL) involves supervising daily tasks in a shared or individual living setting to help individuals live as independently as possible.
