Family Home Providers
Become A Provider
What is Family Home Provider (FHP)?
Family Home Providers are contracted through Cedar Lake and provide ongoing care for individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD). The participant resides in the same household as the FHP and is provided a private bedroom with access to communal living spaces. This service is meant to provide an individual the opportunity to live in the community and participate in everyday life experiences (shopping, going out to eat, vacations, etc.).
Benefits of Being an FHP with Cedar Lake
- Competitive pay
- Tax-exempt contracts
- Potential to earn bonuses
- Priority access to Intermediate Care Facilities (Cedar Lake Lodge/Park Place/Sycamore Run) & Staffed Residences
- Access to internal Co-FHP network for relief
- Electronic documentation
- Certification process
- Monthly home review and check-in
Individuals residing with an FHP are part of the Cedar Lake family, benefiting from our entire spectrum of services under the Supports for Community Living waiver which include:
- Community Access
- Supported Employment
- Day Training
While our priority is for an individual to reside in their FHP long-term, we understand there can come a time when additional services are needed. Individuals that may eventually require more specialized medical care are eligible to access our Intermediate Care Facilities, forgoing what has typically been an 8-10 year waiting list.
Cedar Lake is the only provider in the Commonwealth of Kentucky that can support an individual with IDD throughout the entire spectrum of their adult life, bringing new meaning to continuity of care.
Become a Co-Family Home Provider
What is a Co-Family Home Provider (Co-FHP)?
Co-FHP supports are designed to provide short-term relief and assistance in place of the individual’s primary living arrangement. Co-FHP supports are meant to create an additional relief network for the individual whom they are comfortable with when circumstances arise such as vacations or emergencies. Co-FHP settings may vary and can include care in the Co-FHP’s home or a primary FHP’s home. All Co-FHPs are required to complete the same training requirements as a primary FHP per the Supports for Community Living (SCL) regulation.
Co-FHPs are managed through a contract.
