Solihull Independent Living Service (SILS) is a collection of services to help you remain independent, safe and happy in your own home.
SILS is funded by Solihull Council and provided by both Solihull Community Housing and the Council.
What services are available
The following services are available through SILS:
• Safe and Sound (pendant and/or wrist alarm)

• Aids and Adaptations (e.g. grab rails, half steps, stairlifts, level access showers and other independence-supporting works)

These services have been created to help residents, especially older adults and people with disabilities, to maintain their independence, safety and quality of life.
