Shared Living Services

Personalized Matching

Individuals exploring the Shared Living Services program and potential caregivers will complete a lifestyle inventory, which details likes, dislikes, day to day routines, and behaviors, prior to matching.

The matching process will involve the individual and potential caregiver spending time together through meetings, weekend visits, and community-based experiences.

The objective is to create an open and thorough experience for all involved, leading to a successful, long-term match. At any time in the process, program participants may decide that the match is not a good fit. Though an individual’s caregiver may change over time, the individual will remain in their residential space with the aid of SLS coordinated supports.
