Services We Offer
Shared Living/ Host Home
Shared Living is an arrangement in which an individual chooses to live with a couple, another individual, or a family in the community to share their life experiences together. Shared Living can be provided in the home of the caregiver (Host Home Services).
A Host Home is a private home, certified by the Division of DD, where a family accepts responsibility for caring for up to three (3) individuals with DD. Shared Living offers a safe and nurturing home by giving guidance, support and personal attention. The provider plays an active role in the individual’s team and the collaborative development of a Person Centered Support Plan (PCSP). The PCSP is based on the team’s knowledge of the individual’s personal challenges, strengths, skills, preferences, and desired outcomes. The PCSP provides guidelines and specific strategies that address the individual’s needs in the social, behavioral, and skill areas and is designed to lead to positive lifestyle changes. Living in a home environment presents daily opportunities to acquire and use new skills. The host family helps the individual participate in family and community activities and facilitates a relationship with the person and their natural family and the general community. They help the individual learn and use community resources and services as well as participate in activities that are valued and appropriate for the individual’s age, gender, and culture. The provider ensures that the individual’s identified health, and medical needs are met and comply with licensure or certification regulations of the Division of DD. A single-family host home may be certified by and directly contracted with DMH, or the host family may be directly employed by or under contract with an agency certified by and under contract with DMH to provide host home services.
