Shared Living Provider Summary

Shared living is an arrangement in which an individual(s) with an intellectual disability chooses to live with an individual, couple, or a family in the community to share their life experiences together. A Shared living home could be a single person, a college student, single parents, empty nesters or a two-parent family with children or a person could live with an individual in their home, who wants to share their life with an individual with intellectual disability.

Shared living relies on more than rules and regulations, beyond the formal training and standards that the DHHS or the administering agency puts in place. Shared living depends on other safeguards such as: Community Living, Self-Advocacy, Person-Centered planning.

Rehabilitation Programming

A rehabilitation program for a person with mental disabilities in a Shared living provider home refers to a community-based rehabilitation program. These programs aim to restore independence to people with intellectual disabilities outside a medical or institutional context. It is a collaborative, person-centered and individualized process of restoration of community functioning and the well-being of an individual diagnosed with an intellectual disability. The program focuses on helping individuals develop skills and access resources needed to increase their capacity to be successful and satisfied in the living, working, learning, and social environments of their choice.
