Crystal has had the privilege of working with individuals with special needs for nearly two decades. It's not just a career for her; it's a heartfelt passion. Over the years, she has gained diverse experience in various settings, including schools, personal assistance services, respite care, behavioral tech, and more. For the past nine years, her focus has been on residential and PDS services, where she had the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those she served.

 My family and I have a deep desire to open our home and hearts to someone in need. With three wonderful children aged 22, 17, and 11, and a menagerie of animals including dogs, sheep, chickens, and cats, our home is a vibrant and nurturing environment. We live in Shelby County, offering both tranquility and accessibility to Louisville and Frankfort.

  Our family enjoys a variety of activities, from visiting the zoo and Kentucky Kingdom to participating in 4-H events and exploring the great outdoors on our eight acres of land. While I often find myself engaged in activities outside of home, my husband, a self-proclaimed homebody, provides a comforting presence for those who prefer quieter moments.

 Our home is designed to accommodate individuals with diverse needs, with a wheelchair-accessible ramp and an open floor plan for easy navigation. We're excited to embark on this new journey as family home providers, offering a supportive and inclusive environment where everyone can thrive.

Lena is a light hearted woman with 20 years DSP experience and 5 years’ experience as a FHP with Path Forward of KY in Frankfort, KY. She currently has one consumer, and 1 daughter living in the home she shares with her partner, Matt and their 2 dogs. She enjoys movies, shopping and playing in the outdoors.

Robin lives in Carlisle, KY with her husband and their daughter. Their other three children are grown. Robin works part-time in a school\residence for adults with intellectual disabilities and believes she has found her life calling. Nothing would make her happier than to devote herself to an individual full-time in her home. She has a baby granddaughter and an active family, so someone who likes to be out some and interact with others would be a good match for Robins' family lifestyle. (However, their favorite thing is cozy days inside so there would be plenty of that too.)

Robin has a large guest room downstairs close to the bathroom and kitchen. 

Ollie is an experienced male caregiver who likes to be on-the-go. He is located in the Louisville area and is looking for a male participant to join his household. He currently lives with another male participant and has no pets. He loves spending time with his 15- and 18-year-old children every other weekend. Ollie lives in a townhouse and has an available bedroom upstairs. He works full time at JCPS, outside of the home. He enjoys coaching golf to middle schoolers and you can find him on the golf course when the weather in nice. He is okay with a participant who smokes, as long as they are willing to smoke outside.

We will be posting more information in this section soon about our Family Home Provider openings.
