Your loved one deserves independence and support
Find peace of mind knowing your family member is living their best life with a caring, compatible roommate who supports their goals and wellbeing.
Life-sharing offers the independence of living in a real home with the support and safety your family needs.
What is life-sharing?
Life-sharing is a supportive living arrangement where your family member shares a home with a carefully matched roommate who provides personalized assistance while treating them as an equal partner.
Unlike group homes, life-sharing offers more independence, privacy, and the chance to be part of a real community. Your loved one makes decisions about their daily life, pursues their interests, and builds genuine friendships.
- One-on-one support, not rotating staff
- Real home in a real neighborhood
- Matched based on compatibility
- Independence with a safety net

Safety is our top priority. All supportive roommates undergo comprehensive FBI and DOJ background checks, multiple reference verifications, home safety inspections, and extensive training. We also conduct regular check-ins and are available 24/7 for any concerns.
As involved as you want! Many families participate in meet-and-greets, help with the transition, and maintain regular contact with the roommate. We encourage family involvement and keep you updated on how things are going.
Your loved one's happiness comes first. If a match isn't working, we'll work together to understand the situation and find a better fit. We support any transitions with care and ensure no one is left without support.
Typically 2-6 months, depending on your family member's specific needs and preferred location. We never rush the process—finding the right match is more important than finding a quick one.
Life-sharing services are funded through Regional Center, so there's typically no out-of-pocket cost to families. Contact us or your Regional Center service coordinator for specific details about your situation.
Absolutely! Life-sharing is about independence, not isolation. Your family member can visit, have you over, and maintain all their family relationships just like anyone else living on their own.
Roommates complete comprehensive training covering safety, communication, person-centered support, emergency procedures, and more. Training is ongoing, and we provide additional support for any specific needs.
Life-sharing means living in a real home with one compatible roommate—not a facility with multiple residents and rotating staff. Your family member has more privacy, choice, and the opportunity to be part of a genuine community.
