For youth in the foster care system living in a Shared Living provider’s home, this is typically determined on a case-by-case basis. KVC will contact you to either request placement of an individual in your home or to schedule a “meet and greet” with the individual and their guardian. This is an opportunity for you to ask questions and find out more about the individual. Placements are usually mutually agreed upon so the individual and their guardian have as much say in the process as the provider, and an individual can deny you as the provider. My Grandmother's quality of life has been enhanced in so many ways since they came into her home.
Shared Living Providers offer a safe, loving and structured living environment for individuals with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities. Our providers open their homes to clients to teach them intensive social and independent living skills as well as help them form strong community relationships. The clients living with a provider help to determine their own goals for habilitation and independence. Each individual and family we serve has varying requirements and unique living accommodations which are vital to creating a successful independent living situation for all parties involved. ACN offers multiple options for residential programs, because we are committed to finding the perfect fit for you or your family member. The Substitute Care / Shared Living Provider functions as the primary caregiver for an individual with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities.

It’s a mutual selection process and often requires multiple meetings between the client and the provider. Some quizzes are taken online and you must pass them with a 100% score in order to move on. Also during this step, you will complete your official training as mandated by the state of Nebraska. Nebraska mandates that all providers complete MANDT training, Medication Aide Training, and CPR and First Aid training. Omni Inventive Care provides reimbursement for Sub Care subcontractor services. The rate is determined by the severity of need of the individual in services.

Alternate care provides a short-term break when the provider needs time away from the individual being served or can’t provide care for a period of time. Alternate care can be arranged when the Shared Living provider is going out of town, has personal matters to attend to, or just needs a break for self-care.

Until the COVID19 restrictions, I was able to help and visit my mom on most days that Susan wasn't there. However, once restrictions were in place, Susan was my mom's only help. She became my connection with my mom, letting me know how she was doing and what groceries/supplies she needed. The care Susan provided for my mom was excellent, but she also helped me, by being there when I couldn't.

Once you’re certified, you will be able to welcome a client into your home. It depends on your abilities and what you can provide a client, what clients need, and the volume of clients seeking providers.
