As an Independent Contractor, your primary responsibility is to maintain a safe and healthy home environment for the individual supported.

Caring for individuals is more than just helping people with their daily activities. It is assisting in cultivating life skills and fostering independence. You will be sharing your home with an individual, not just having someone live in a room in your home. Sharing your home means participating in activities, sharing chores and matching interests and lifestyles.

An independent Contractor (IC) will welcome an individual with a disability to reside in their home. IC's support the individual by providing a safe and nurturing home environment to foster personal growth and independence. Duties vary for each individual from minimal support (i.e., budgeting, medication, transportation, activities of daily living or ADL's) to full support (i.e., dressing, toileting, feeding, positive behavioral support, etc.).
