Shared living homes are residential settings in which an individual receiving Overture services lives in the community with someone of their choosing that is available to help provide supports when needed. Shared living homes come in all shapes in sizes depending on what the person is looking for in a living companion. Overture has shared living homes throughout the state of Wyoming in various cities, suburbs, and more rural areas. Home means something different to everyone and some of our shared living homes have families that the person can live with, other homes may be just two people living together. We support homes with 1-2 people receiving services living in the home with a designated Shared Living Home Provider. On some occasions, if it is the persons’ choice to live with three people receiving services, Overture and the Case Management agency may work with that shared living home to get a three person waiver to allow for this living arrangement.

Other Residential Services including Remote Monitoring are also offered. For more detailed information on the type of Residential Services offered by Overture please contact us.
