Moving into a SIL home is a big step. Here’s what actually happens in the first month with Carevally.

Week 1 — Settling in

The first week is intentionally slow. The participant moves their belongings, meets their housemates and primary support workers, and starts to understand the rhythm of the house.

Week 2 — Routines form

By week 2, daily routines start to settle. The same one or two workers show up daily. If clinical care is part of the plan, the registered nurse begins their weekly visits.

Week 3 — Goals and activities

Week 3 is the first goal-setting conversation. What does the participant want from their week? Community access? Work? Faith? We design the support roster around the answer.

Week 4 — Family review

End-of-month review with family and (where applicable) the support coordinator. What’s working. What isn’t. Adjustments. This conversation repeats every plan period.
