• What if my family situation changes and I can no longer provide Shared Living Services?

  Shared Living services contracts may be cancelled by either the shared living provider or the individual, but a 30-day notice of cancellation is required.

• Are any in-home services available to people who receive Shared Living services?

  Shared Living Providers are responsible for finding persons to care for the hosted individual in the absence of the family. Anyone who provides care for the hosted individual must pass all required background checks before caring for the hosted individual. If a Shared Living Provider needs assistance in caring for the hosted individual, the Shared Living Provider is responsible for paying that caretaker out of the daily rate received for providing the Shared Living service. If you need assistance with this process, or have concerns about any behavioral issues, contact Chris Dial at 620.231.3131 or 800.479.0259 (toll free).
