This unique, family-model care allows individuals to live in a home that’s creatively tailored to their needs, offering lifelong opportunities for success and community connection.

Our providers bring individuals into their family and community, offering both companionship and meaningful support. The service includes your chosen backup workers, as well as ongoing support from our program staff and access to behavioral, nursing, and other services. You'll be supported every step of the way and have access to a network of peers and mentors who share your passion for making a difference.

What Does the Role Entail?

• Support individuals in your home, helping them create genuine relationships and find purpose in daily life.
• Assist individuals in achieving personal goals, building life skills, and increasing their independence.
• Provide care in a dynamic home environment, adjusting to the individual’s changing needs and preferences.
• Work closely with our team, including receiving ongoing training, mentorship, and assistance as needed.

Who Should Apply?
We are looking for dedicated individuals, couples, or families who are passionate about supporting others to lead fulfilled lives. If you meet the following criteria, this could be the perfect opportunity for you:

• A desire to make a lasting difference in the lives of individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities.
• A willingness to welcome someone into your home and family, offering them care and support.
• Ability to use a computer and complete documentation.
• Prior experience working with individuals with disabilities (1+ year preferred; training opportunities available).

What’s Required?

• You must be 21 years or older.

Work Environment:
This role takes place in your home and is highly adaptable to the individual’s specific needs. The work may sometimes be fast-paced, requiring flexibility, patience, and the ability to respond to the unexpected. It may also include physical tasks, such as mobility assistance or behavioral support.

This is a long-term commitment, but one that brings immeasurable rewards—both to you and the individual you support.
