New Offering: Shared Living
03/07/17
Charles River Center, Needham
We are pleased to
announce that the Charles River Center has been approved as a Shared
Living Provider.
In the Shared Living arrangement, a member of the community (singles, couples, families) welcomes a person with a disability to live with them in their home. Individuals with disabilities may need assistance with personal care needs, medical needs, transportation, community integration, recreational activities, and day-to-day needs. A case manager from the Charles River Center provides regular support and oversight.
Aside from personal satisfaction, the host will receive a monthly tax-free stipend. Respite time will also be included to allow for time-off when needed. All necessary trainings will be provided.
Shared Living can be a
wonderful and personally fulfilling experience for all involved.
