What is shared living?

Shared living is a residential arrangement where individuals with disabilities or special needs live in a home with a provider, often a host family or caregiver, who offers support and assistance with daily activities. This model promotes independence, inclusion, and community integration by matching individuals with compatible hosts. Shared living can be a long-term or short-term support option and is often an alternative to group homes or institutional settings.

What are some common challenges faced by shared living providers and how can they be managed?

Shared Living providers often encounter challenges such as balancing the needs and preferences of individuals with disabilities while maintaining a harmonious home environment. Providers may also face emotional and logistical demands, including developing individualized support plans and handling unexpected situations. Building strong communication with the supported individual, their family, and case managers is crucial, as is seeking ongoing training and support from your agency. Regular self-care and networking with other providers can also help manage stress and promote long-term success in the role.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a shared living provider, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Shared Living Provider, you generally need experience in caregiving, knowledge of developmental disabilities, and, in some cases, relevant certifications such as CPR/First Aid. Familiarity with documentation systems, care plans, and compliance with state regulations is also important. Compassion, patience, strong communication, and the ability to create a supportive home environment are standout soft skills. These competencies ensure high-quality care, promote independence, and foster a positive living experience for individuals receiving support.

What is the difference between Shared Living vs Caregiver?

AspectShared LivingCaregiver
CredentialsVaries; often no formal certification requiredOften requires certifications like CPR, First Aid, or specific caregiving training
Work EnvironmentResidential settings, group homes, or private homesPrivate homes, healthcare facilities, or community settings
Employer & IndustryNonprofits, housing agencies, or private individualsHealthcare providers, home care agencies, or private families
Job FocusProviding housing and support for individuals with special needs or disabilitiesAssisting with daily activities, personal care, and health management

Shared Living involves providing housing and support to individuals with special needs, often in a communal setting, with less emphasis on personal care. Caregivers focus on assisting with daily living activities and health needs, often requiring specific certifications. Both roles are essential in supporting vulnerable populations but differ mainly in scope, environment, and certification requirements.

Job description

CHD’s Shared Living program provides an alternative residential setting to the 24-hour group home.

CHD’s Shared Living program provides an alternative residential setting to the 24-hour group home. This model provides an opportunity for an individual who is receiving services through the Department of Developmental Services (DDS) to live with someone who wants to make an individual with intellectual disabilities part of their life and home.

Shared Living is like adding a member to your household — similar to the adoption process. It is expected that the individual would join in social activities as appropriate, and be included in the daily life and schedule of the home. Shared living care is tailored to the needs of the individual, but most individuals need help with the activities of daily life, including meal preparation, medication management, financial transactions, and transportation to appointments. They also will look to the shared living provider to be a source of social engagement and community. The female being served is unable to be in a family setting or atmosphere, but will benefit from a one-on-one caregiving relationship with a female shared living provider.

This is a shared living position for the greater Springfield area. The individual receives services during the day and some hours during weeknights and weekend hours as a relief for the shared living provider. Shared living provider would help to creatively engage her in social experiences for her recreational/social needs.

Requirements A calm, clean home and a person who has at least three years of experience working in the field of human services with DDS clients or mental health individuals. Ability to optimize client independence and provide informal counseling/guidance and help to relieve anxieties. CPR certification and past experience being a shared living provider or previous foster parent.

This is a tiered salary starting at $30,000 annually. Salary will be based on clients needs and DDS approval.
