Our Difference
Our caregivers and clients develop truly rewarding relationships that go beyond practical supports.
Services We Offer
Through personalized plans, we ensure a wide range of ongoing supports for adults with developmental disabilities.
Services include

- Several meetings before any match is finalized, to ensure a good fit
- Case management by KDC case workers

Who We Support
Shared Living is for adults, ages 22 and older, who are referred and funded by the Department of Developmental Services (DDS). Participants are required to live with a caregiver who is not a family member.
Staff Excellence
KDC ensures that all caregivers receive comprehensive initial and ongoing training, including CPR/First Aid Certification and additional, tailored trainings depending upon the individual needs of the care recipient.
