Understanding your options.
Information for people considering Better Living Services through Self-Directed Support in Scotland.
Your support should still feel like yours.
If you are using Self-Directed Support, we can talk through the practical and community support you are looking for. Exact funding, eligibility and rates remain matters for the relevant local authority arrangement.
- Discuss the support you want
- Talk through what may fit
- Agree the practical details
Self-Directed Support gives eligible people more choice and control over how their support is arranged.
If you have an SDS budget or are considering your options, Better Living Services can have a conversation about the kind of practical and community support you are looking for.
You can choose who provides your support
SDS Option 1 involves an individual budget that can be used to arrange eligible support. Exact arrangements and rates depend on the relevant local authority and individual plan.
You do not need to work it all out first
If you are unsure whether your SDS arrangement could work with Better Living Services, get in touch and we can talk through what you are looking for.
Talk through practical questions
If you are exploring self-directed support, we can discuss the practical household and community support we offer. Funding arrangements and eligibility should be confirmed with the relevant authority or adviser.
