Open Your Heart, Open Your Home/Caregiving with Love

Nonotuck Resources Associates (www.nonotuck.com) is a community-based agency that has been providing residential services since 1972 to people with intellectual disabilities and acquired brain injuries. We support people who need assistance to remain living in a home setting. The individual and shared living provider share a home; the shared living provider must have an extra bedroom.

SHARED LIVING PROVIDER NEEDED

We are currently searching for a bilingual couple or individual to provide a wonderful shared living home for a woman in her 70s in the Lawrence area. She likes cooking Spanish food, people watching, TV (loves game shows), and staying socially active. She is looking for a person or people that share similar interests and will help her feel like she is an inclusive member of the household. We are looking for a Spanish speaking shared living provider who would welcome her into their home and provide supports with daily living and skill development. She will also require assistance with budgeting and managing her monthly funds, managing emergent safety situations, and support with scheduling activities. A home with a first-level bedroom and bathroom are required due to her mobility needs.

Who We Are Looking For: A caring individual or couple who:

• Can provide a warm, inclusive home environment.
• Will support her daily living needs with dignity and respect.
• Can assist her with skill development, budgeting, and managing her monthly funds.
• Are prepared to help navigate emergent safety situations and support scheduling activities to ensure a balanced, fulfilling life.
• Have a home with a first-floor bedroom and bathroom to accommodate her mobility needs.

If you are in the Lawrence area and able to provide supports to this person, we encourage you to apply. If you believe in the power of inclusion and want to make a difference, we’d love to hear from you.

Caregiver responsibilities will include planning and sharing meals, coordinating appointments and social activities, and providing assistance with budgeting, safety, and daily living skills. To qualify, all applicants must have First Aid and CPR training, a valid driver's license, own a car, pass a CORI, and meet AFC criteria. The caregiver will receive a generous stipend, training, and ongoing support. Clinical supports, nursing supports, and respite funds are also available, as needed.
