Family Homes

 

The Goal 

 

“To place individuals’ with intellectual disabilities in appropriate
homes with families who are interested and capable of
supporting the individual.”

 

Family Homes provide more than room and board.

The Home Provider shares their home with the individual and provides the opportunity for the person to become part of family life. 

 

The Home Provider is responsible for: 

• Ensuring a safe and secure environment for the individual.

• Meal preparation.

• Including the individual in their family activity.

• Providing appropriate living space.

• Ensuring proper medical and daily living supports.

• Keeping  proper documentation.

 

The Home Sharer is entitled to the same respect and dignity outlined in Community Living Association philosophy.  The Association provides oversight of the program and supports the Home Provider in meeting Association and Government Service Guidelines.  

 

The Home Provider receives a daily stipend from the Home Sharer and the Association.  

 

The Association supports 15 individuals in 13 homes.
