Nontouck Resource Associates has been providing residential services to adults
with mental retardation since 1972. For the past fourteen years we have been
placing adults with mental retardation with families in the community. We call
this residential
housing program- shared living. The shared living provider is a friend,
house mate and mentor. The shared living provider receives an annual stipend
of about $35,000 as well as; respite funds, clinical supports, and nursing supports,
oversight, and other resources from members of the Nonotuck team located in
our Holyoke office.
We currently have an opening for a shared living provider in the Greater Northampton
Area. We are looking for a match for a young man in his early twenties. He is
deaf and
uses ASL to communicate. He is healthy, active, hard-working and really enjoys
being outdoors. He would like to live and work in the Northampton area. The
shared living provider family will provide assistance with transportation, shopping,
going to the doctor, etc. It is important that the shared living provider can
help access friends and resources
in the deaf community.
If you are fluent in ASL and have a spare room in your home, please contact:
