Through this program, individuals live with a specifically chosen companion who provides an opportunity to build social skills, independence, and companionship. Companions are a source of 24/7 guidance, and ensure that residents eat healthy meals and take their medication. We carefully screen and train our companions, evaluate them regularly, and support them in being successful.

We pursue compatible matches so that both residents and companions can enjoy long-term placements. The companion works to establish a positive home environment in which the program participant can develop skills and become more independent.

Looking to support an individual through our Shared Living Program?

We are always seeking new companions. If you are passionate about helping people with developmental disabilities, you may be able to participate in our Shared Living Program. A monthly stipend for the Shared Living Program and additional training for companions is provided. Please contact us if you are interested in learning more or fill out our online application form.
