Families as Home Sharing Providers  

Families as Home Sharing Providers  

Family members can serve as home sharing providers, offering care within a familial setting. This arrangement can provide continuity and comfort for the individual receiving support. However, it’s essential to establish clear boundaries and agreements to ensure that the caregiving role is formalized and meets the standards set by coordinating agencies and CLBC. 

When family members act as home sharing providers, they must: 

• Enter into formal agreements outlining roles, responsibilities, and compensation 

• Undergo the same screening and approval processes as non-family providers 

• Ensure that the individual’s rights and autonomy are respected, avoiding potential conflicts of interest
