Lifesharing through Family Living
An alternative to more traditional residential services, Lifesharing through Family Living enables individuals with a developmental disability to reside with an adult or family in their private home as a fully participating member of that family. Lifesharing through Family Living is more than providing the basics such as food and shelter. It is about sharing life experiences, and building mutual relationships and responsibility. The relationship between the provider and individual is meant to be enduring. Providers are very diverse and include single adults, single parents, two-parent families with children, and “empty-nest” families. Potential providers and the individual are carefully interviewed, then matched to ensure they have compatible interests and personalities. Lifesharing through Family Living is a licensed program by the Department of Public Welfare Chapter 6500 Regulations.
