supported living

when im a young adult, id like to live in supported living one day because sometimes i may need help with daily tasks like housework and shopping. i wonder if its worth it because you have to live with 2 or 3 people in a single house. let me know in this thread if it is.

In all honesty, whether or not living in supported living is worth it will vary between people. Some people might find supported living the most useful.
Other people might find living in their own home but with a carer's support more worth it. It might also change over time. Do you think it will be worth it for you?
As a 22 year old myself (living with my parents) I feel like eventually supported living may be the option for me because of like I struggle with everyday tasks and remembering to do the most basic things sometimes which I hate but its part of my hidden disability as well. I feel like I would feel more lonely living on my own I guess. I think for me it would depend who I was living with because I feel like I would need someone I could trust if I were to live with them. I know a lot of my friends have been considering it as well because they say it would easier for them as well (so there may be a possibility that we could all be in supported living which would be ideal). I know from a friend of mine that there is a supported living house being built, but I think its far away from where I live at the moment, I think its out of my cachement/area so it would depend. I would ideally love to be able to live on my own independantly but I can't see that as possibility yet (I still need to learn how to cook
