SHARED LIVING
Helping adults with a developmental disability or autism create a meaningful and connected life.
WE’RE HERE TO HELP.
Spurwink is here to help you every step of the way.
MATCHING
Spurwink works closely with people with disabilities and their families to help find a shared living provider who is the best possible fit with the person’s hopes, dreams, personality, and style.
CONNECTION
At the heart of shared living is a strong, supportive, often roommate or family-like relationship between an individual and his or her shared living provider. This relationship helps the individual pursue his or her unique interests, and build new skills.
LONGEVITY
We know finding the “right fit” is important. Our matching process is designed to foster placement stability.
SUPPORT
With a reputation built on “going the distance,” Spurwink has the experience and clinical expertise to help individuals, families, and shared living providers experience success.
TRAINING
Shared Living Providers who contract with Spurwink have access to extensive opportunities for continuing education, conferences, and learning.
