Description
| Description (Service) | Life Share helps adults with developmental disabilities who are 18 and older live as independently as possible in their communities. LifeShare offers a safe and healthy home for people who live with a developmental disability. Interested families undergo a thorough screening and intake process and then are matched with Life Sharers who have similar interests. With the support and guidance of Life Share staff, Providers encourage the people living in their home to take part in their family and become active members of their community. How to Become a Life Share Provider: If you are interested in becoming a Life Share provider and having a person we support living in your home, please contact our Lindsay office at 705-328-0464. How to Access the Life Share Program: The Life Share program is funded through MCCSS which means that all referrals for this service come through Developmental Services Ontario (DSO). For more information, please contact the DSO at www.dsontario.ca and let them know that you are interested in supports from Community Living Trent Highlands. |
