Shared Living Success Story
Vicky, Incompass Shared Living Provider
Vicky first met Fernando more than 18 years ago when she was managing group homes. As the only native Spanish speaker in the house at the time, Fernando was unable to effectively communicate with any of the staff or residents. When Vicky switched jobs to a day program setting, she knew she couldn’t leave without helping him. Fast forward and Fernando is living his absolute best life with Vicky and her husband, George, who is a fluent Spanish speaker. His health is on the up and up since moving in with his new family, and his days are spent bonding with George over home improvement and antique car projects.
Important Note
Potential providers must have significant experience in the human service field or relative life experience. They must demonstrate a deep commitment to persons with developmental disabilities. Furthermore, the provider must maintain certifications in CPR and First Aid, and participate in home safety inspections.
