Extended Families of Nebraska provides residential services through Shared Living. Shared Living Providers (SLPs) support people with disabilities in a family-based setting, empowering each person served. SLPs assist people to become more independent by offering natural roles within a family home environment.

Testimonials

“The staff here are amazing! They actually care about us. Emily (DSP) guides me, so I can learn from my mistakes. She helps me understand stuff. This is my favorite place I’ve ever been for day services. I can count on transportation to pick me up from my home and get me out into the community to do fun stuff. “

Receives Shared Living services & Attends Abilities

“I like living in the country, having chickens and a couple of horses, a dog and a cat. The favorite things I’ve done with my SLP is to help a build deck, make money, and that they helped me to help my mother. I also went to Texas with my SLP a year ago. I like to bring my bull to the park and practice lassoing there. I’m living my best life!”
