Shared Living Provider Bilingual (Boston & Surrounding Area)

We are currently searching for a bilingual couple or individual to provide a wonderful shared living home for a woman in her 70s in the Boston area. She likes cooking Spanish food, people watching, TV (loves game shows), and staying socially active. She is looking for a person or people that share similar interests and will help her feel like she is an inclusive member of the household. We are looking for a Spanish speaking shared living provider who would welcome her into their home and provide supports with daily living and skill development. She will also require assistance with budgeting and managing her monthly funds, managing emergent safety situations, and support with scheduling activities. A home with a first-level bedroom and bathroom are required due to her mobility needs.
