Narrative

In Shared Living, a single, couple, or family share their home and life experiences with a person with an intellectual disability (ID). A shared living provider is willing to work on a mutually supportive relationship. It offers the person with ID the chance to live the life they choose, through teaching, compassion and respect of choice.  

My Choice works to match people and providers who have similar interesties. All program members are able to have a positive, happy and rewarding experience. Caregivers are offered a monthly pay that reflects the level of care needed for the Person with Disabilities (PwD). My Choice Programs offers ongoing support, training and supervision.

Most PwD in our Shared Living Program are looking for a long term arrangement. Some people however, seek to have a temporary placement. Their final goal is living independently. Those people are considered for our Transitional Living Care Program.
