Overview
Open Your Home. Share Your Life. Become a Lifesharing Provider.
UCP Central PA is seeking caring individuals and families who want to make a lasting difference by welcoming an adult with an intellectual disability into their home.

- Support and encourage participation in family activities, hobbies, and community outings.
- Facilitate medical appointments, prepare nutritious meals, and assist with feeding (if necessary).
- Maintain supervision, complete required documentation, and follow state regulations.
This is a unique, rewarding opportunity to build a meaningful relationship while making your home a safe and supportive place for someone to grow and thrive.
