Host Home Provider

A host home provider is someone who welcomes an adult with an intellectual or developmental disability into their home as part of their family. Host home providers give care and support to help the individual meet their goals. Those may be wellness or treatment goals, or milestones to help them be more independent.

Our host home providers come from all walks of life. They may be stay-at-home moms and dads, single people, empty-nesters, or working professionals. They represent every gender, orientation, ethnicity, and religion. One thing all caregivers have in common is their commitment to helping others.

We’ll make sure to match you with an individual whose needs meet the level of care you’re comfortable providing. While responsibilities vary based on each individual’s needs, it includes things like:

· Offering a safe and welcoming place to live

· Daily supervision, encouragement, and care as needed

· Preparing healthy meals

· Providing transportation to work, appointments, or activities

· Helping the individual participate in activities to build skills, spark interests, and make friends

Mentors are also responsible for maintaining records and documentation of services, activities, and support provided.

Being a host home provider is a 100% tax free income.

The adults we serve have different degrees of developmental or intellectual disability, or other needs, like autism, cerebral palsy, or epilepsy. Some may be independent and able to go out on their own or have a job. Others may need more support. We’ll be sure you’re matched with a person whose needs fit your lifestyle.
