Support Home Provider (SHP)
A Support Home is a support situation in which a client shares a home with their support person (family or individual), the Support Home Provider (SHP). The client may live in a separate space in the home or share the same living space with the SHP. The SHP generally provides support in all activities of daily living. This includes, but is not limited to, activities such as laundry, housekeeping, making and attending medical appointments, administering medications, planning and preparing healthy meals, budgeting, and recreation and leisure. The supports that SHPs are providing typically occur in the mornings, evenings and weekends, as clients may have a day program, employment, or scheduled activities to attend during the day. However, where this is not the case, the SHP may be responsible for providing support during the day as well.
A SHP is classified as a contractor. The contractor is not an employee and therefore does not receive the same benefits as CASS employees, such as vacation time, health benefits or employment insurance contributions. This form of support is considered tax free by the federal and provincial governments, and is not subject to CPP or EI contributions. However, the SHP will receive a T5007 tax form each year and must still declare their income.
SHPs provide support to clients in their homes based on the following attributes - education, availability, suitability and level of expertise with specific support requirements - as well as, the safety and suitability of the physical home and area of the city.
Required
- Maintains and utilizes current Emergency or Standard First Aid that includes CPR/AED
