Host Homes: Creating Inclusive, Family-Centered Care
Host homes offer individuals with developmental disabilities or special needs the chance to live in a nurturing, family-like environment. This model surpasses traditional care. It places individuals in the heart of a home. They form meaningful relationships and fully engage in daily life.
By living with a host family, individuals get personalized support that honors their preferences, strengths, and goals. They contribute to household routines, join in community activities, and build lasting connections.
Host homes don’t just support individuals. They foster inclusion and challenge stereotypes. They build stronger, more compassionate communities where everyone has the chance to thrive.
Mission
Our mission, guided by the motto of “Care and Compassion,” is to deliver outstanding care to individuals of all abilities, and to foster complete inclusion across all facets of life.
Why Choose Us?
We here at PCN consider it an honor to work with individuals who have Intellectual Disabilities and/or Mental Illness. Partnering with Families, Guardians, Individuals in Service and Case Managers, PCN strives to provide the highest level of care for each person in service.
