Frequently Asked Questions

BARAKAN Shared Living provides safe, supportive home environments where adults can live as part of a family-style household.

We match individuals with qualified caregivers who offer daily support, personal care, and companionship while encouraging independence and inclusion within the community.

Our Shared Living program is designed for adults who with housing needs.

Eligibility is typically determined through a referral or assessment by a case manager or support coordinator, depending on state requirements.

All residents undergo a thorough screening process, including:

• Background checks and reference verifications

• Criminal Background check

• OIG checks

• Ongoing monitoring and support by BARAKAN staff

Unlike group homes, Shared Living offers a more personalized, family-like setting.

Residents live with one provider or family who focuses on their individual needs, rather than in a facility with multiple staff shifts.

This model builds stronger relationships and fosters independence, belonging, and stability.

BARAKAN Shared Living is not a medical facility, but we do coordinate with healthcare professionals to support residents’ health needs.

You can start by contacting BARAKAN directly through our Contact Us page or by phone.

We’ll guide you through the intake process, discuss eligibility, and coordinate with your case manager to explore placement options.
