Shared Living

A Shared Home, A Shared Life

Shared Living matches an individual with a dedicated care provider who opens their home and becomes a partner in daily life. It's not a facility — it's a family arrangement built around the person.

In a shared living arrangement, the individual becomes part of a household. They have their own space, participate in family life, and receive consistent, personalized support 24 hours a day.

How Shared Living Works

  • A shared living provider is carefully matched to the individual and family
  • The individual lives in the provider's home or a shared home
  • Support is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
  • Daily routines, meals, and activities are built around the individual's preferences
  • Regular check-ins from the Strive team ensure quality and safety

Is Shared Living Right?

Shared living works well for individuals who want the structure and companionship of a family home and who benefit from consistent, around-the-clock support. Your SSA can help determine if shared living fits in the individual's ISP.
