Become a Life Sharing Host Family with Abound Health

Make a Lasting Impact by Welcoming Someone Into Your Home and Daily Life

Location: Lehigh Valley (Allentown, Bethlehem, Northampton, Alburtis etc.)

Position Type: Contract

Organization: Abound Health

Are you looking for a meaningful way to apply your empathy, patience, compassion, and creativity in your everyday life? Abound Health is seeking caring, stable, and dedicated individuals or families across the Lehigh Valley to join our Life Sharing Program as Host Families. This unique opportunity allows you to open your home and heart to an individual with an intellectual or developmental disability (I/DD), creating a long-term, family-like relationship built on trust, belonging, and shared experiences.

We are actively recruiting Host Families statewide for individuals who would thrive in a supportive, structured, and welcoming home environment. Each match is personalized, and we work closely with families to ensure compatibility, shared interests, and long-term success.

What Is Life Sharing?

Life Sharing is a person-centered residential model where an individual becomes a fully integrated member of a family’s home and community. Unlike traditional caregiving, Life Sharing focuses on long-term relationships, independence, and meaningful daily experiences within a natural home setting.

As a Host Family, you provide not just a place to live — but a sense of belonging, stability, and purpose.

What You’ll Do as a Life Sharing Host Family

• Provide a safe, stable, and welcoming home

• Support daily living skills and household routines

• Offer mentorship, companionship, and emotional support

• Encourage community involvement and recreational activities

• Collaborate with Abound Health to follow person-centered plans

• Promote independence, dignity, and personal growth

Why Become a Life Sharing Family?

• Transform Lives: Make a meaningful, lasting impact on someone’s quality of life

• Build Deep Connections: Form lifelong bonds and provide genuine companionship

• Work From Home: Support someone while continuing your own family routines

• Receive Support & Compensation: Host families receive a daily stipend and ongoing training

• 24/7 Support: Abound Health provides emergency support, respite coordination, and clinical consultation

Host Family Requirements

To qualify, families must:

• Be Pennsylvania residents (all counties welcome)

• Be at least 21 years old

• Pass required background checks (FBI, child abuse, criminal)

• Complete home inspections and meet safety standards

• Provide personal and professional references

• Participate in interviews and a matching assessment

• Be willing to include the individual in meals, routines, activities, and family life

Training Provided at No Cost

All Host Families receive:

• ODP-approved Life Sharing Orientation

• Fire Safety & Emergency Preparedness

• Medication Administration (if applicable)

• Individual Rights & Person-Centered Planning

• Ongoing annual training (e.g., trauma-informed care, dignity & respect)

Additional Details

• Contract Position: Host Families are independent contractors, not employees

• Flexible Matching: We work closely with you to ensure a strong, compatible match

• Ongoing Support: 24/7 emergency assistance, respite options, and case management

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
