In the Host Home Program, Easterseals Iowa pairs a person in need of Daily Supported Community Living (SCL) services with a single provider. A Host Provider is someone who opens their home to a person with a disability. Living together, the Host Provider offers support and care for the individual while also fostering their independence and building social skills with members of the community.
Providers assist clients with goals, personal cares, and general life skills. Providers also provide up to 24 hours of oversight per day, as well as assist with medication administration, management of personal finances, and transportation. Easterseals Iowa provides oversight, training, and technical assistance to the provider, client, and client family.
