The primary role of the worker is one of

family, providing emotional and problem-solving support to

Home Share
Needed
Bethesda’s
Home Share service is a family-style arrangement where a
family or a single person cares for one or two adults with
developmental disabilities in their home. Each
Home Share strives to foster an individual’s independence and
quality of life, while recognizing the need for
interdependence and support. In providing room, board and
personal support for the individual(s), the care provider
would receive a contract that includes guidelines of care,
reporting requirements as well as remuneration. Payment for
services is based on a “Level” funding formula and is determined by the amount of
support that an individual requires. Additionally, each
Home Share would receive respite care funds to allow the care
giver regular breaks in providing support and each
Home Share would receive ongoing support from the agency.
Prospective
caregivers should give thoughtful consideration and seek out
information before assuming the role of professional
caregiver. Providing 24-hour care to another person requires
an individual with unique characteristics. It is not a role
that everyone can successfully assume. For those who are
suited, family care becomes a lifestyle choice that can be
extremely rewarding. A compatible placement enriches their
lives and the lives of their family members. Family members
need to decide what supports they would need, and what
adjustments would be required. Your family should also
recognize its strengths and its limitations. Bethesda will
help to determine the best compatible
individual with your family.
