BECOME A SHARED LIVING PROVIDER
As a Shared Living Provider, you directly make a difference in a person’s life. Shared Living providers are caring, compassionate people who open their hearts and homes to an adult with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Shared Living is a supported living arrangement where an individual, couple, or family share their home and life experiences with a person with an intellectual or developmental disability. Shared Living arrangements closely replicate a private home experience. As a Shared Living Provider, you’ll provide a safe and comfortable home environment and support the individual with tasks such as meal preparation, medication administration, arrangement of and transportation to medical appointments, as well as socialization and participation in the community. Your care will help improve a person’s quality of life by enabling a person to become more independent and stay connected within the community.
Vinfen provides ongoing training and support to Shared Living Providers to make sure that they have the knowledge, skills, and resources they need to provide excellent care. Providers also receive a tax-free stipend for their time.
