We are seeking a responsible and compassionate family unit for a unique, long-term, live-in support and companionship role in the Chicagoland area.
This is an ideal opportunity for a family (ideally 4+ members) looking for a "leg up" and significant financial relief. In exchange for providing a stable, structured, and kind home environment for a 52-year-old autistic male (Mental age of 10), your family will receive free housing, all paid utilities, and a food budget.
Our friend works from home and is a kind-hearted, gentle person who thrives on a predictable schedule and a harmonious environment. He enjoys playing with legos, playing xBox, Playstation, visiting Zoos, all the typical stuff. One adult could be a stay-at-home parent to provide this consistency.
The Opportunity (Your Compensation)
100% Free Housing: Live rent-free in a large, 3,000+ sq/ft, 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home.
Private Living Space: Your family will have 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms for your private use, plus full use of the home's common areas. (Our friend will have his own designated bedroom and bathroom).
All Utilities Paid: all costs for electricity, water, gas, and internet.
Food Budget: A generous budget will be provided for household groceries.
The Role (Your Responsibilities)
We are looking for a family to function as a supportive "parental" unit. Your responsibilities will include:
Schedule Management: Creating, managing, and maintaining a consistent daily schedule for our relative to provide structure and comfort. Ensuring he goes to bed and gets up at the proper time, eats his veggies, and handles hygiene.
Companionship: Providing a reassuring and friendly presence. This includes sharing meals, watching TV together, and fostering a warm home life.
Household Management: Full responsibility for all meal preparation (breakfast, lunch, dinner), grocery shopping, and general household cleaning.
Daily Support: Managing medication reminders, scheduling any necessary appointments, and providing transportation.
Home Environment: Our relative is afraid of the dark, and likes to wander, so a key part of this role is ensuring a safe, secure, and reassuring home environment, especially at night.
Our Ideal Candidates
A stable, mature, and patient family unit.
Crucially, one parent MUST be a stay-at-home parent.
Extremely reliable, organized, and skilled at household management.
A kind, compassionate, and patient demeanor is essential. Prior experience with caregiving or supporting individuals on the autism spectrum (ASD) is a major plus but not required for the right family.
Must be willing to undergo and pass comprehensive background checks.
Strict Requirements (No Exceptions)
NO SMOKING of any kind.
NO PETS of any kind.
