About The Position

We are seeking a dedicated, patient, and compassionate Host Home Provider for this individual—an adult male with developmental disabilities who has made tremendous progress over the last 15+ years and is ready for his next residential chapter. This is a well‑supported placement with a strong team already in place: an involved guardian and family, IMAGINE! services, behavioral supports, and a current provider who will remain available as a natural support during transition. You will not be doing this alone—this placement truly comes with a village. This individual is thoughtful, funny, expressive, and full of personality. He communicates using a combination of ASL, sounds, and gestures, and understands short, direct verbal prompts very well. Building rapport and taking the time to truly listen to him is essential; he thrives when he feels heard and understood. He has a great appetite, is mostly independent with bathroom use (supervision required for behavioral safety), can write his ABCs, and sign his name. This individual requires Line of Sight (LOS) supervision both in the home and community due to a history of elopement, property destruction, and self‑injurious behavior (scratching or hitting himself when overwhelmed). Much of this individual’s success comes from thoughtful setup—minimal clutter, no glass décor, durable furnishings (an indestructible mattress will come with him), and maintaining predictable routines. This placement is best suited for this individual is calm, quiet, and uncluttered, preferably without children or animals, and structured with consistency and clear expectations. This individual prefers being the only individual in the home or in a very small, low‑stimulus setting. He does best when changes are explained ahead of time and made with purpose. This individual is fully connected with IMAGINE! for care management, behavioral services, and day programming, behavioral supports tailored to fit both this individual’s and the provider’s schedule, up‑to-date medical care (appointments primarily in Arvada/Wheat Ridge), and psychotropic medication management as prescribed. This role is ideal for experienced DSPs or Host Home Providers, individuals comfortable supporting behavioral needs, caregivers who value relationship‑based support, and providers seeking a long‑term, supported, and meaningful placement. Both male and female providers are welcome; this individual has worked successfully with both.
