What Are Host Homes?
Host Homes are private family residences where adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities live in a supportive, family-like environment. Rather than living in a facility-based setting, persons supported become part of a household where they receive individualized care, guidance, and encouragement.
Host Homes focus on building meaningful relationships, promoting independence, and supporting daily life in a way that feels natural, safe, and welcoming.
In a Host Home, individuals receive:
- A safe and welcoming family environment
- Person-centered support tailored to individual needs
- Assistance with daily living and life skills
- Opportunities for community involvement
- Ongoing support and 24-hour oversight from Sunrise Community
Every Host Home is thoughtfully matched to ensure comfort, compatibility, and long-term success.
How Can I Become A Host Home Provider?
Host Home Providers are caring individuals or families who open their homes to support someone in their community. Providers play a vital role in helping persons supported build independence, confidence, and meaningful connections.
Sunrise Community offers training, guidance, and ongoing support to ensure Host Home Providers feel prepared and supported every step of the way.
Provider Support Includes:
- Initial and ongoing training
- Regular check-ins and professional support
- Assistance with service planning and coordination
