Map Location Shared Living

Narrative

Shared living is like the adoption process. A person lives with a family or individual in their home, taking part in everyday activities, learning new skills, and building relationships.

We work closely with people and their families to set up living situations that feel like home. Guided by their interests and needs, people are empowered to be part of the decision-making process.

Host families help with everything from meal preparation to medication management to transportation. Like typical families, they engage in social events and community activities. If additional direct care is required, arrangements will be made to support those needs.
