Understanding LRI Personal Care in Nebraska

LRI Personal Care provides hands-on assistance with activities of daily living—bathing, dressing, eating, mobility, toileting, and other essential daily tasks. This service is specifically designed for individuals who meet Nebraska's criteria for Extraordinary Care, meaning they require significant support due to the complexity or intensity of their needs.

What makes LRI Personal Care different is who can provide it: a parent of a minor or the spouse of the individual receiving services. This allows family members to be compensated for the care they're already providing while ensuring their loved one receives the support they need to live safely and comfortably.

Understanding LRI Personal Care in Nebraska

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 in Dodge County

Many adults with IDD in shared living arrangements report high levels of life satisfaction, often describing the sense of stability and belonging that comes from consistent relationships. Knowing who will be there when you wake up—and being part of a family's daily routine, not just a service schedule—matters.

As Nebraska's third-largest city, Fremont offers resources that smaller towns can't match—medical specialists, therapy services, the largest YMCA in the United States, employment opportunities, and recreational options. Shared living homes in Fremont and surrounding areas give adults with IDD access to both city resources and genuine community connection.

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.
