Shared Living Care/ Respite Providers Needed in Hampden County
Location:
Holyoke, MA
Description:
*CARE/RESPITE PROVIDERS NEEDED IN THE BERKSHIRE, HAMPSHIRE, FRANKLIN, AND HAMDPEN COUNTIES! MASSACHUSETTS RESIDENTS ONLY PLEASE. ABOUT PATHLIGHT Pathlight (formerly known as The Association For Community Living) has been supporting and empowering individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities (and their families) in Western Massachusetts since 1952. ABOUT BEING A CARE PROVIDER For those that aren't aware, Shared Living is a service model in which an individual with developmental disabilities moves in with a person, couple, or family. The Care Providers receive a tax-free stipend and the knowledge they are making a positive difference in the lives of others, while the individuals can live and grow in a home-based situation and experience the everyday activities of family and community life. A WIN-WIN SCENARIO! When making a placement, we consider both the Care Provider's qualities and home dynamic, as well as the needs and personality of the individual they care for. The goal is always to create that "perfect match." When that's done, it's really a positive experience for all involved (We have placements that have lasted 40+ years!). Ideal candidates for this role would have skills in working with individuals with developmental and/or intellectual disabilities (though not required), be able to establish clear and consistent routines, set reasonable limits, and provide structure. If you are not ready to have an individual move into your home full-time, we also are looking for Respite Providers. Respite Providers offer short-term relief for primary Care Providers. The length of time for respite care varies depending on the need- it could be anything from just a day to a few weeks. CARE PROVIDER BENEFITS: Generous, TAX-FREE, Stipend Respite Care Ongoing training & education Responsive case management Support from clinical staff and consultants 24-hour back-up in the event of an emergency Satisfaction of making the difference in someone's life IS CARE GIVING FOR YOU? Common attributes of Care Providers consist of an ability to understand the individual's viewpoint; set boundaries; provide structure; be open, honest, and stable; function easily as part of a team; be involved in their community; be flexible as everyone's needs and abilities change with personal growth. Successful care providers are highly motivated to make a difference in the lives of others. WHO WE SERVE The people we are privileged to serve are of all ages and abilities. They may have extensive physical disabilities, intellectual disabilities, require medical involvement, or they may need minimal assistance.
