  • LSS Host Homes

    A Host Home is a place where a person with disabilities can get the care they need with the flexibility and comfort they desire. Host homes are operated by a person or family who opens their home, their life and their heart to a person with a disability.
  •  

    The host individual or family provides supports similar to a group home, but  as a person living in a host home, you would have the freedom to design your own care and service plan along with your family or case worker.

    Worried? Don’t be. Lutheran Social Service has a history of being a trusted resource for people with disabilities. An LSS Support Coordinator will work closely with each Host Home to ensure a successful and long term placement. 

    In order to ensure everyone is comfortable in their new living situation, LSS also offers supervision and training to the Host Home/Independent Contractor depending on the needs of the individual receiving support. Supports provided include skill building (money and budget management, social/leisure skills, home economic and time management skills), assistance with personal hygiene tasks, behavior planning, etc.

      I live in my home with my youngest daughter, Kira (21).  She presently is attending Concordia College for nursing. My home is a handicap accessible rambler.  It has a fenced in backyard and all things in the community could be reached within about 15 minutes.
