Teaching, assisting in personal and professional growth, and providing recreation opportunities are additional responsibilities of becoming a home provider. Pay is based on the supported person’s level of need. Community Options will provide training.
A Host Home is more than just another housing option. The home’s primary caregiver provides training, assistance, and supervision. Support can range from community integration to daily living skills, such as personal hygiene, food preparation, and instruction on social skills and problem solving.

We promote individualized ownership and empower those we serve to choose the setting that best meets their needs.
We provide community-based residences in safe and attractive neighborhoods and communities. Many of our residences are barrier-free ranch homes with two to four bedrooms.
