Home Share Service Provider
Are you interested in the rewarding opportunity to share your home with an adult with developmental disabilities?
Home Sharing is a model of residential support where a person or family is contracted to provide a shared, supported home environment to an individual supported by SACL.
Persons may experience independence by living in a basement suite knowing there is support nearby or they may have a bedroom right next to the contracted caregiver.
The possibilities of Home Share are endless with the most important aspect being a good match.
When we are able to match the interests and lifestyles of both the supported person and a Home Share Provider, everyone’s lives are changed for the better.
No formal education is required for our Home Share Contractors but is valuable for many placements; a background in caregiving is needed, along with clear criminal record checks and First Aid.
A thorough home study is completed and once approved, your home can be considered for any new referrals that come our way. It is always our desire to support people to make the best match possible, to ensure a long-term placement and quality support.
We are always recruiting for interested people to screen and have readily available for when referrals come in.
Ideally, placements are long-term so finding the right match is important.
