Supported Living Residence (S.L.R.)

Nefeli

The Supported Living Residence (S.L.R.) “Nefeli” has been operating since September 2011 in Ilion.
It can accommodate up to six adults (men and women) over the age of 18 with Intellectual Disability, Autism, or Down Syndrome, with the main goal of providing a warm and family-like environment in safe living conditions, when the family faces difficulties or is unable to provide care.

Its central location within the Municipality of Ilion, integrated into the local community, offers direct access to community life, promoting social inclusion and the daily participation of residents in recreational and educational activities outside the residence.

The residents of the facility are supported on a 24-hour basis by a scientific team, consisting of the structure’s coordinator – a psychologist, a social worker, an occupational therapist, and specially trained caregivers.

The scientific team is further supported by external collaborators: a psychiatrist, a general practitioner, a lawyer, and a nutritionist.

Our Program and Objectives:

Participation in daily self-care and household activities: personal hygiene, organizing personal and shared spaces, meal preparation, etc.
Creative engagement through leisure activities, games, music, crafts.
Participation in organized outdoor recreational and educational activities, such as shopping at the bakery or supermarket, visiting cafés, walks in the neighborhood and parks, exercising at outdoor gyms, day trips, and more.
Frequent and consistent contact of residents with their families, along with counseling and emotional support.
Participation in the city’s cultural events, as well as organizing celebrations and gatherings.

Together, and each one individually, we aim for personalized intervention based on each person’s needs, abilities, and preferences.
Our ultimate goal is to achieve the highest possible level of functionality and, consequently, to ensure a high quality of daily life within the community.
