PROGRAMS AND SERVICES

LIFE SHARING NETWORK

The Life Sharing Network offers an alternative to staffed residential homes by providing an individual with living and/or respite supports within the home of non-natural family.  BACI contracts with families (including single persons or couples) who are interested in welcoming an individual into their home and assisting him or her to:
  • develop and maintain a personal network of friends and family
  • find and participate in meaningful activities
  • obtain a genuine sense of belonging within the home and community in which he or she now lives.
Support options consist of one of the following:

Life Sharing Model
The adult or youth lives with a family either by occupying a bedroom and sharing communal space, or by living in a self-contained suite within the family home.

Modified Life Sharing Model (Parallel Living)
The adult or youth lives in an apartment next to a family. The family is responsible for assisting in the development of the individual's independent living skills.

Share your Life Sharing experiences, ideas or questions on our
     Message Board
