This is a chance to help make a difference by opening your home to an individual with a developmental disability.

A Host Home Provider offers a community-based living alternative where individuals or families open their homes to people with developmental disabilities who qualify for services. Teaching, assisting in personal and professional growth, and providing recreation opportunities are additional responsibilities of becoming a home provider. Pay is based on the supported person’s level of need. Community Options will provide training.

A Host Home is more than just another housing option. The home’s primary caregiver provides training, assistance, and supervision. Support can range from community integration to daily living skills, such as personal hygiene, food preparation, and instruction on social skills and problem solving.

Community Options develops specialized housing and supportive services to meet the needs of individuals with disabilities. We buy, build, renovate, and furnish the kind of homes that we want for our own families. We promote individualized ownership and empower those we serve to choose the setting that best meets their needs.

We provide community-based residences in safe and attractive neighborhoods and communities. Many of our residences are barrier-free ranch homes with two to four bedrooms. Individuals living in these homes receive 24/7 direct support care from highly trained staff who understand the individual’s Habilitation or Support Plan.

Like other children’s foster shelters, Respite Care of San Antonio's Residential Children's Homes operate 24/7/365 to provide protection and urgent essential needs (shelter, food, clothing, transportation, and care) to children in crisis removed from their homes due to abuse and neglect.

Unlike other shelters, our program is dedicated to serving children with intellectual and developmental disabilities and complex medical conditions. This vulnerable population needs extra resources to overcome the consequences of medical neglect and inadequate care.

We share our home with three or four young adults within the HFA, Asperger, and Neurodiverse communities.

They will acquire and practice the independent living skills they need before assuming the responsibility of living independently.

The Home & Community-Based Services that ResCare offers are focused on helping individuals stay in their homes rather than moving to a Group Home or Large ICF for care. We meet the needs of people with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) by offering medical and daily living support wherever they choose.

Individuals seeking Home and Community-Based Services can choose which services they need that best fit their unique abilities.

These services can include:

• skilled nursing care
• therapies
• personal care
• respite care
• mental health services 
• much more
