Home Sharing is a residential option that provides safe, nurturing, community-based, shared living arrangements for adults with diverse abilities. The service is provided through you, the contractors, who welcome a person into their home, offering a warm, inclusive environment and customized, person-centred support. A supported person will live in unique and varied family care arrangements such as sharing a house, or an apartment or living in a suite within the home.
This model of support creates opportunities for natural relationships to develop and promotes the full citizenship of the person through inclusion within their community. A Home Share Provider may assist with life skills, meal preparation, personal care, medication administration, relationship building, and accessing community resources. The key to a successful, long-term arrangement is matching a person with a Home Share Provider based on a variety of factors including personality, lifestyle, and interests.
Home Sharing offers people who need support the opportunity to choose their ideal caregivers and determine the lifestyle and environment that best suits their unique interests, support requirements, and preferences.
What we look for in our Home Share Contractors:
- Applicants must live in the New Westminster area
- Commitment to the values and principles of inclusive community living
- Previous experience fostering and supporting a person with diverse abilities
- Sincere desire to provide a stable, safe, comfortable, and inclusive home
- Good problem solving/communication skills and the ability to be flexible, adaptable, organized, and accepting
Home Share candidates undergo a comprehensive screening process which includes reference and criminal record checks as well as an in-depth home study. Home share arrangements are monitored regularly and ongoing training and support are provided, including MANDT, Medication Administration, privacy training, First Aid/CPR re-certification, and more.
