Narrative

At Guidewire, we specialize in helping people break the cycle of residential instability. Many of the people we support have histories of significant behavioral problems, resulting in chaotic, unstable program placement.

Shared Living is designed to provide a residential home placement with a trained Community Caregiver as a roommate. The roomate will ensure health and safety. They provide guidance and Positive Behavioral Support. The residential home can be provided either by the agency, a family member of the person or the Care Provider. Accommodations can be made to reflect the needs of the person supported. The living space can be modified to welcome preferences such as:

  • food
  • clothing
  • entertainment
  • travel 
  • other personal choices
