Section 115.500  Program

Description

a)         This Subpart details those requirements specific to the Host

Family Living Arrangements Program (traditional care model and shared living

model) beyond the basic CILA requirements.

b)         The Host Family Living Arrangement Program consists of two

major program components, the Traditional Care Model and the Shared Living

Model.

1)         Traditional Care Model

Host family

living arrangements, traditional care models are 24-hour residential

alternatives to typical shift staff arrangements.  The setting is the residence

for the person with a developmental disability and the full-time residence for

the paid caregivers.  It is owned, leased, or rented by the paid caregivers.

In traditional care settings, host families consist of one or more persons who

are unrelated to the individual with a developmental disability and who are

under contract with the CILA agency to provide host family services.

2)         Shared Living Model

Host family

living arrangements, shared living models are also 24-hour residential

alternatives to typical shift staff arrangements.  The setting is the residence

for the person with a developmental disability and may house either full or

part-time caregivers in which more than 50 percent of the residential coverage

is provided by individuals other than shift employees.  It is owned, leased, or

otherwise controlled by either the individual, the caregivers, or the agency.

In shared living models, host families consist of one or more persons who are

unrelated to the individual with a developmental disability and who are under

contract or employed by the CILA agency to provide host family services.

3)         The difference between traditional care and shared living

models is that, in the shared living model, shift employees of the CILA agency

routinely share supervision, care and training responsibilities with the host

family caregivers who are providing services under contract.
