Interested in Becoming a Host Home Provider?
Opening your home to support an adult with intellectual or developmental disabilities is a calling rooted in compassion, patience, and genuine connection. At The One, we partner with caring individuals and families who feel led to provide a safe, stable, faith‑centered home environment.
Provider Requirements Include:
• Meeting HHSC and agency qualifications
• Completing background, employability, and exclusion checks
• Participating in required training
• Establishing an approved backup‑care plan
• Passing a home review before placement
Approval does not guarantee immediate placement. Each placement is based on the individual’s needs, preferences, provider availability, household compatibility, and completion of all required reviews.
If you feel called to serve others through home‑based care, we would love to speak with you.
Why Host Home Providers Matter
Host Home Providers create a family‑centered environment where individuals can thrive, grow, and experience meaningful daily life.
At The One, we believe every person is created with purpose — and every home should be a place where love, safety, and belonging are present.
The Role of a Host Home Provider
The Role of a Host Home Provider
A Host Home Provider opens their home and shares daily life with an adult receiving HCS services. This role involves more than providing a bedroom. It means creating a safe, respectful, and supportive home where the individual can build relationships, pursue personal goals, participate in the community, and live with greater independence.
Depending on the individual’s needs and approved service plan, a Host Home Provider may be responsible for:
Providing a safe, clean, comfortable, and welcoming home environment
Living in the same residence as the individual receiving services
Assisting with personal-care needs such as bathing, dressing, grooming, eating, and toileting
Planning and preparing meals that meet the individual’s needs and preferences
Assisting with household tasks, shopping, and other daily living activities
Supporting medication routines as trained, delegated, and authorized
Coordinating or providing transportation for appointments, therapies, activities, and community participation
Supporting the individual’s personal goals, choices, independence, and development of daily living skills
Encouraging meaningful relationships, recreation, and inclusion in family and community life
Following the individual’s service plan, implementation plan, health-care instructions, and safety requirements
Protecting the individual’s dignity, privacy, rights, property, and personal choices
Maintaining required daily documentation and reporting incidents, concerns, or changes promptly
Communicating and working with the individual, family or legally authorized representative, service coordinator, agency staff, and other members of the support team
Completing required training, background checks, home reviews, monitoring visits, and continuing education
Maintaining an approved emergency-preparedness and backup-care plan
Host Home Providers receive training and ongoing agency support, but they must also understand that this is a significant, hands-on responsibility. The right provider is dependable, patient, respectful, organized, and genuinely committed to helping another person feel safe, valued, and at home.
