I/DD Shared Living Providers & Services For Your Loved Ones in Nebraska

Hands of Heartland has proudly supported people with developmental disabilities in Nebraska since 1998.

Shared Living may be appropriate services for individuals with developmental disabilities who need residential supports found in non-group home settings. Hands of Heartland ensures individuals receiving our services have access to caring, well-trained providers in these shared living accommodations.

Our Shared Living arrangements allow individuals to live in the residential homes of caring and competent providers contracted with Hands of Heartland. Up to two individuals with IDD can live together in these settings, which are designed to promote and teach effective communication and other independent living skills, all the while receiving support from a professional caregiver who can attend to the specific needs of each person. This option is designed to invite an individual into another family’s home or for Hands of Heartland to assist non-guardian family members as they provide support to the individual.

In order to better support people receiving our services and provide them with living arrangements suited to their individual needs, Hands of Heartland’s has recently worked to expand our focus on our Shared Living Services. Let’s explore some of the benefits these programs provide and how you can get involved.

Supporting Independence

Shared Living Services provide a balanced living arrangement for individuals who are seeking more independence in their living situation in order to support future community integration but still require support from our professional caregivers. This service is part of our broader Residential Habilitation Service, where we help match people receiving our residential services to the appropriate level of assisted living that meets their personal needs.

Matchmaker
Our dedicated Shared Living Services coordinator personally takes the time and effort to match the people we support with a provider with similar interests, lifestyles, beliefs, and other characteristics crucial to keeping each individual's well-being and comfort a priority.
Among the Best Care Providers in the State
We are constantly seeking out qualified, caring providers to add to our Shared Living program so that there will always be a home for the people we support whatever their individual needs might be.
