This model [SILU] is similar to SSLUs except that it envisions customers who require the availability of on-site support services but who are sufficiently independent that overnight supervision or services are unnecessary. The ability to age in place in a stable environment is an option, as 24-hour services could be provided at a later date, if necessary. 2, record 1, English, - supported%20independent%20living%20unit
