Supporting Adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities

Intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) affect how people communicate, learn, and live independently. Conditions like Down syndrome, autism, cerebral palsy, and other developmental disabilities shape someone's experience—but they don't define their potential.

Finding the right support makes all the difference. It's not just about having somewhere to live—it's about finding a place where you belong, where someone knows your story, celebrates your wins, and supports you through challenges.

That's what Alora brings to Nebraska families.

Shared living creates real family connections. Unlike traditional group homes with rotating staff, our model pairs individuals with dedicated host families who provide consistent, personalized support in a true home environment.

Why Shared Living Works

Adults with IDD in shared living homes report stronger relationships, greater community involvement, and higher overall life satisfaction.

In Nebraska, we call this model "shared living"—a welcoming approach that combines professional support with the comfort and consistency of family life.

Our Nebraska IDD Services

Alora provides two pathways of support for Nebraska families: residential shared living homes for 24/7 care, and Bridge support services to help families navigate transitions and build skills at every stage.

How is shared living different from a group home?

In traditional group homes, multiple residents live together with rotating staff. Shared living means one or two individuals live with a dedicated host family in their home. It's more personal, consistent, and family-oriented—like being welcomed into a family rather than living in a facility.

Does Nebraska Medicaid cover these services?

Yes. Alora is an approved Nebraska provider agency for both the Comprehensive Developmental Disability Waiver (CDD) and Family Support Waiver (FSW). We can help you understand eligibility and navigate the waiver process. Some Bridge services are also available through private pay for families not yet on the waiver.
