Job description

The vision of Marrakech Inc. is that each person we serve will live and work in the community and be accepted by their neighbors, co-workers, family, friends, and acquaintances for their individual qualities and contributions.

Community Companion Home Provider (CCH)

Marrakech, Inc. is seeking compassionate caregivers who are willing to open both their hearts and homes to become a Community Companion Home provider for a person with a developmental disability. As a provider, you will give an individual with a developmental disability the opportunity to live in a natural family environment and contribute to their overall quality of life. You will include the individual as family in your daily life.

Community Companion Homes are licensed by the Department of Developmental Services (DDS). With support from Marrakech's CCH team, licensees will complete required training, background checks, home study, and a fire safety check during the licensing process. Individuals living with a licensee must attend a weekly day program, allowing the provider to work or participate in activities of their choice. Licensed providers will have access to supports like respite care, Marrakech oversight, nursing support (including 24/7 on-call), and license renewal.

Responsibilities

A licensee must be patient, empathetic, and attentive. As needed, the licensee must also be willing to assist with everyday tasks such as self-care, bathing, medication management, transportation to medical appointments, and supporting social or recreational activities to promote community integration and social-emotional growth.

Payment

The licensee receives a monthly payment for each individual living in their home, which includes a flat rate for room and board and a reimbursement for care based on the individual's level of need.

Matching Process

The matching process considers similar interests and backgrounds to ensure a compatible match between the licensee and the individual.
