What is life-sharing?
Life-sharing is a supportive living arrangement where you share a home with a compatible roommate who provides personalized assistance while treating you as an equal partner in the household.
Unlike traditional group homes, life-sharing offers more independence, privacy, and the opportunity to be part of a real community. You'll make decisions about your daily life, pursue your interests, and build genuine friendships.
- Live in a real home, not a facility
- Make your own choices about daily routines
- Build lasting friendships
- Be part of your local community

The most thorough vetting in the industry
Every supportive roommate is screened through state criminal court systems and the National Sex Offender database. They complete required training, pass multiple interviews, and must meet strict qualifications before being matched. We have a zero-tolerance policy for violations.
After move-in, our team conducts regular check-ins, maintains 24/7 availability, and ensures your loved one is safe, supported, and thriving. With a 95%+ match success rate across 100+ matches, our process works.
- Background checks through state criminal courts & National Sex Offender database
