I want to live in a pleasant home.

While many people choose to remain with their families, others prefer to “move out” on their own.  While many thrive in a group home environment, others enjoy our innovative Shared Living model, in which an individual lives with a carefully selected and trained host family.

We help by matching people with roommates or host families and always strive for a perfect fit.  If it doesn’t work out the first time, we keep on trying.  We also provide support for those who choose to live independently.

Shared Living Options

Living Innovations is a leader in the Shared Living model of 24-hour supported living - a fresh alternative to the traditional rotating staff model. The concept is to carefully match an individual in need of a home and support with a person, couple or family with whom they would be a good fit.  The home providers are people who are committed to providing professional and compassionate care in their homes.

Providing support in a natural home setting creates opportunities for individuals to form relationships of a quality that may not be possible with the changing shifts of a group home. They become community members in the most natural ways through the connections and support of the home provider.  The person receiving support often becomes a member of the home provider's extended family.

 

How We Help

• Community Living Coordinators help create the match and provide oversight for the relationship between the home provider and the person receiving support
  
  
• Direct Support Professionals can provide additional support at home or with activities in the community

Positive Feedback From Families

While this Host Provider concept can be new and unfamiliar, concerns are often allayed by speaking with or visiting people we support who can share their experiences.  Consistently, these homes are the highest rated of all of the services we provide.
