Choice in Supports for Independent Living (CSIL) is a self-directed
option for eligible home support clients. CSIL clients receive funds
directly from their local health authority to purchase their own home
support services. CSIL clients become employers who manage all aspects
of their home support from hiring and supervising staff to overseeing
how CSIL funds are spent.
CSIL may be suitable if you have a significant physical disability and
desire more control and flexibility in managing your home support
services. To be eligible for services, you must also be unable to function
independently because of chronic, health-related problems or have health
care conditions that require care due to one or more of the following: You have recently been discharged from an acute care hospital; you require care to prevent or reduce the need for hospital or
emergency department services or admission to a residential care
facility, or you have a life-limiting illness.
If you are interested in receiving CSIL services or know of someone who might be in need of these services, you can contact Vernon Community Care at 250.541.2200
