Lifesharing Provider for Adults w/ Intellectual Disabilities, Schuylkill Region
Lifesharing is an opportunity for you to open your home and share your life with an adult with an intellectual disability.
What is Lifesharing? We provide a matched residential setting for individuals with intellectual disabilities. You will be responsible for caring, providing companionship and ensuring a safe environment. (Note: the responsibilities are inherent to living with an adult; the key qualifications are outlined below.)
Do I get to choose who lives with me? We believe strongly in the matching process, and you get to choose who comes to live with you. Multiple pre‑placement visits are conducted before scheduling a move‑in date.
How do I find out more? Read below for qualifications and benefits. Fill out an inquiry form; an Onboarding Specialist will contact you if you choose to continue.
Requirements
Have a home (with one or two private bedrooms available) that is insured (renter’s or homeowner’s) and passes safety standards established by the state of Pennsylvania.
Reside in one of our service counties in Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley (Lehigh, Northampton, Berks, Schuylkill, Carbon, Monroe, and Pike). (We also serve Bucks, Montgomery, Chester, and Delaware Counties—see link for details.)
Provide Criminal Record Checks, Child Abuse Clearances, and FBI Clearances for everyone age 18 and over living in the home. Local Police and Child Protective checks will also be conducted.
Benefits
As an independent contractor, a generous non‑taxed stipend starts at $2,300/month. Individuals have funds available for clothing and other personal expenses.
Sign‑on and referral bonuses available.
Access to training, assistance, twenty‑four‑hour on‑call support and up to 30 days of respite where the individual can stay with one of our respite providers in case you need alternative coverage or a break.
