Shared Living

Shared Living is a Department of Developmental Services residential option for individuals with disabilities that provides them with the opportunity to live in private family homes with dedicated caregivers. Each individual plays an active role in planning their daily routine and receives services tailored to their needs through People Incorporated’s clinical team and experienced professionals.

The relationship between the caregiver and the individual is the key to a successful Shared Living experience.
