Overview:
Community Companion Homes (CCH)
Community Companion Homes licensees (i.e. the CCH family) accept the responsibility for caring for one, two, or in some instances, as many as three individuals with intellectual disability. A signed agreement between DDS and the provider is completed when an individual moves in.
Their first and most important job is to provide a home – with all that means in the way of comfort, understanding and concern. This includes involvement in the life of one’s family, the neighborhood and the CCH family.
For many, the most important reward is not financial. It is the satisfaction that comes from becoming part of a dedicated group of service providers who make life better and more fulfilling by opening their hearts and their homes.
