Caregivers in the CTHI Program invites someone with a disability or special needs into their home to offer them a family-like living environment. The goal is for the person served to receive the care and support he/she needs to help them live as independent as possible.

Some responsibilities of a Caregiver (full time) or Respite Caregiver (part time):

  • A caregiver must attend to the health of the person served, this includes taking the individual to doctor visits, maintaining his/her specific diet, and any other medical care needed.
  • Caregivers are responsible for assisting the person served with managing their finances.
