Living Innovations in New Hampshire
We have New Hampshire Roots
We began providing services for people with disabilities in 1996 in New Hampshire through our first Shared Living home. We provide direct support and Shared Living opportunities for individuals who live in New Hampshire’s central and southern regions, and we are growing every day.
Our services are designed to build community connections and enhance quality of life for the people we support. These align with the priorities, needs and desires of each person while using best practices and exceeding state requirements.
Our New Hampshire management team has a wealth of diverse experience in providing services to people with a broad range of intellectual and developmental disabilities. That depth of experience allows us to provide comprehensive, personalized and inclusive services to meet the very unique needs of each person we serve. We put the people we support at the center of all we do and provide excellent customer service to all team participants including family members, guardians, home providers and state service coordinators.
Please contact us to determine supports that can be individualized for you or a loved one. Also, please ask us about our matching process to learn how we carefully select qualified, shared home providers and provider personalized supports.

Shared Living is based on carefully matching a person in need of support with a host family in a natural home, as opposed to an institutional environment. We provide personalized support in the community to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and help connect them to other supports and resources according to their individualized needs.
The person receiving support:
- Is an active participant in the process of selecting the host family.
- Benefits from having supports, meals and activities that are a good fit for them.
- Has the experience of a nurturing family-like environment.
- Receives the highest level of individualized care and community integration, compared to any other residential model.
Our services don't end with the match, we provide 24/7 support and guidance. Our detailed and mindful matching process finds the best fit for all involved and ensures a comfortable, personalized and lasting pairing. With more than 25 years (need to adjust this so it doesn't include a finite number of years as it changes over time e.g. we’re at 29 years now, not sure how) of experience helping hundreds of people thrive in Shared Living homes. Our diligent process ensures a comfortable, personalized and lasting pairing. With more than 25 years of experience helping hundreds of people thrive in Shared Living homes, Living Innovations has the knowledge and dedicated professional staff to help people have the best life possible at home and in the community.
Strengthening communities through the inclusion of all people to the highest degree possible is a core value of Living Innovations. We provide personalized support in the community to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities by connecting them to other supports and resources according to their individualized needs.
Community Supports:
- Focused on enhancing an individual’s skills in the community as well as improving their health, safety and independent living skills.
- Community-based and not dependent on a facility.
- Takes advantage of local educational, social and employment opportunities.
- Facilitates the development of “natural supports,” which is relationships with people other than paid staff.
- Is individualized to the needs, desires, goals and interests of participants
- Assists interested participants in developing job skills and in searching for and obtaining a position of employment when they are ready.
Many of our participants receive their community support services directly from their shared living provider within the “whole life” model which allows for a more flexible and person centered approach to community participation. Securing a job is the highest priority for most people in Community Connections. We assist participants in developing job skills, and when they are ready, in searching for and obtaining a position of employment.
For those who do not qualify for Medicaid funding, all of our services are available on a private pay basis. We will work with you to set up the perfect plan for a loved one in need of support.
