Host homes are private homes where individuals in need of care are placed to live in a family-like atmosphere. This program is designed to offer a more personalized and homey alternative to traditional care facilities. Host homes provide individuals with the opportunity to live with a family or a caregiver who is trained to meet their specific care requirements. Whether the person requires assistance with daily tasks, companionship, or specialized support, the host home environment promotes emotional well-being and independence.
Host homes are an ideal choice for individuals seeking a more intimate setting that encourages personal connections, independence, and active participation in daily life. Residents benefit from the natural support that a home environment offers, as well as the individualized care and attention that comes from being in a smaller, more flexible setting.

Benefits of Host Homes
Personalized Care: Each host home is designed to meet the unique needs of the individual residing there. Whether it’s assistance with daily activities, medication management, or providing companionship, care is tailored to the person’s preferences and health conditions.
Home-Like Environment: Host homes provide a comfortable, family-style environment that feels just like home. This can significantly reduce feelings of isolation and improve emotional health.
One-on-One Attention: Unlike larger care facilities, host homes offer more direct and continuous care, with caregivers dedicating their time and energy to one individual at a time.
Community Engagement: Living in a host home encourages individuals to stay connected to their local community and participate in social activities, reducing the feeling of being disconnected from the world.
Flexibility: Host homes offer a range of living arrangements, from short-term respite care to long-term stays, allowing individuals and families the flexibility to choose the best care option.
