FAQs - Let's talk about it!
Becoming a Shared Living Provider is a unique and rewarding opportunity for you to open your doors to someone in need. We know that doesn't come without questions and even hesitations. The team at Woodfords is available to help answer and walk you through the process from the start; however, here are a few of our most asked questions to get you familiarized!
1. Do I have to own a home to participate in Shared Living?
No! While there are specific requirements and qualifications to determine your eligibility, you do not need to own your current residence.
2. Who determines the placement?
Ultimately, you and the consumer decide if placement is a good match. We understand the commitment becoming a shared living provider is, and so we take as little or as long to ensure the match is right fit for everyone!
3. Can I work another job and still be a shared living provider?
Of course! Every family's needs look a little different and we know many people work other jobs. Although being a provider does require a level of flexibility, we take your availability into consideration during the intake process.
4. Can I become a Shared Living Provider for my adult child?
Absolutely! Contact us to learn more about how you can receive support to care for your loved one in your own home.
