For many adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, home is more than a place to live — it’s where connections are built, confidence grows, and everyday moments turn into meaningful milestones.
That’s the heart of Sevita’s Host Home program.
In a host home, an individual with intellectual and developmental disabilities lives with a caring Mentor who opens their heart and home. Mentors provide personalized support in a family setting. From sharing meals and celebrating holidays to pursuing personal goals and community involvement, host homes offer a unique blend of independence, stability, and belonging.
Everyday Moments That Matter - How Mentors Make a Difference?
Life in a host home is shaped by the simple, meaningful moments that make up each day:
> Cooking meals together and learning new recipes
> Getting ready for work or volunteer opportunities
> Participating in hobbies, fitness activities, or faith communities
> Relaxing at home after a busy day
These routines help individuals build life skills, strengthen relationships, and gain confidence — all while feeling supported, valued, and gaining independence.
A Partnership Built on Trust - How are Mentors Supported?
Mentors are support every step of the way. Sevita provides ongoing guidance, training, and 24/7 support to ensure both Mentors and individuals feel confident and supported every step of the way. Together, we create an environment where people can thrive in ways that are meaningful to them.
More Than a Program — It’s a Home
At Sevita, we believe everyone deserves a place where they feel safe, respected, and included. Host homes make that possible by offering not just care, but connection — and a place to truly belong.
