Shared Living and Adult Family Care Our Adult Family Care and Shared Living programs place adults with developmental disabilities with host families trained to meet their individual needs.Care giving in your home can be a very rewarding experience. We have care arrangements that have been in place for over twenty years. Caregivers often remark that the person receiving supports is like a member of their own family. In addition to being emotionally rewarding, caregivers are paid a daily stipend, which varies depending on the person’s needs, and receive a room and board payment.People interested in becoming a care provider should contact Joshua McKiernan at jmckiernan@kdc.org to begin the application process.Shared Living and Adult Family Care are funded by the Massachusetts Department of Developmental Services (DDS) and Medicaid.Foster Care Foster care is the temporary or long term placement of a minor child in a non-relative’s family home.  Reasons for placement include medical needs, developmental disabilities, or a history of abuse and neglect.KDC’s Intensive Foster Care Program recruits potential foster care parents and provides them with appropriate training and support to provide specialized care for children and youth with a wide variety of needs.Foster Care is funded by the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families (DCF).
