Shared Living
Our Shared Living program matches adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, autism, or acquired brain injury with welcoming individuals or families in their community for long-term, in-home placement. The goal is to have the provider family integrate the individual into their home and community life. Riverside is there every step of the way to provide support to both the individual and the family.
We are committed to the philosophy that individuals with disabilities thrive when they are able to live in a family home. Over time, these new family members develop meaningful relationships and learn to be independent and active members of their community. This model enriches the lives of all who are involved.
