Community Companion Home Provider (CCH)

Marrakech • Groton, CT

1d

About The Position

Marrakech, Inc. is seeking compassionate caregivers willing to open their homes and hearts to a person with a developmental disability. The provider offers the individual the opportunity to live in a natural family environment, includes them in daily family life, and contributes to their overall quality of life.

Community Companion Homes are licensed by the Department of Developmental Services (DDS). With support from Marrakech’s CCH team, licensees complete required training, background checks, a home study, and a fire safety check during the licensing process. Individuals living with a licensee attend a weekly day program, allowing the provider to work or take part in activities of their choice. Licensed providers have access to respite care, Marrakech oversight, nursing support (including 24/7 on-call support), and license renewal.

The licensee receives a monthly payment for each individual living in their home: a flat rate for room and board, plus reimbursement for care based on the individual’s level of need. The matching process considers similar interests and backgrounds to help ensure compatibility between the licensee and the individual.
