Perfect Fit/Family Care

Everyone deserves a chance to find their fit in life. For people with intellectual and developmental disabilities who live outside the family home, it can be challenging to achieve a true sense of belonging and personal fulfillment. Our Perfect Fit program provides a safe, natural, family setting for people to receive the care and support they need, with independence to explore their own interests. It offers a unique residential setting that welcomes people with warmth, compassion, and encouragement, enabling them to gain a genuine feeling of acceptance through stable relationships and community participation. Perfect Fit providers receive training and ongoing supports from Lifetime Assistance staff.
