FAMILY HOME PROVIDERS (for providers)

Become a Family Home Provider (FHP) with Cedar Lake and make a meaningful difference in the life of an individual with intellectual or developmental disabilities (IDD). As a contracted FHP, you provide a safe, nurturing home environment while supporting independence, growth, and community participation.

What is a Family Home Provider (FHP)?

Family Home Providers are individuals contracted through Cedar Lake to provide ongoing care for individuals with IDD. Residents live in the same household as their FHP, enjoying a private bedroom and access to communal living spaces. This arrangement allows participants to experience daily life in the community, including shopping, dining out, attending events, and vacations.

Benefits of Being an FHP with Cedar Lake

Competitive pay and tax-exempt contracts
Potential bonuses
Priority access to Cedar Lake Intermediate Care Facilities and Staffed Residences
Access to internal Co-FHP network for relief
Electronic documentation for convenience
Certification process with monthly home reviews and check-ins

Co-Family Home Provider (Co-FHP)

Co-FHPs provide short-term relief and support for individuals in primary FHP households. These supports help cover vacations, emergencies, or other temporary needs. Co-FHPs complete the same training as primary FHPs and are managed through a contract with Cedar Lake.
