Frequently Asked Questions

A host home provider is a small business owner with whom A Glimmer of Hope LLC (AGH)

contracts to provide a specific individual with room and board as well as other residential

services and supports.

If space allows, you may have three clients in your home. If you have a third bedroom you

plan to use, you can also do respite services instead of hosting 3 individuals, full time. You can also be a Respite care specific Host Home Provider, meaning you would only provide respite care and emergency respite services.  Respite care services came range from several days to months.  Each client must have his or her own room with a locking door.  Clients are able to share of room if they (clients) both agree on sharing that room and it is written in their service plan.

Each individual who is admitted to our services receives a standardized assessment. That

assessment determines the level of service needs, and we pay Host Home Providers based

on the rates paid for that level of service by the State of Colorado. Levels of service range

for level 1 - level 6.  Pay ranges from $2600 - 6000 per month for residential services and room and board.

It varies depending on whether or not we currently have a client who is requesting a new

home, or if a new client is moving to the area. We don’t rush into placements for the

benefit of everyone concerned.  Once we receive a Referral for someone needing service, we respond with interest and wait for the client or client's family member to contact our Agency letting us know they would like to get acquainted and spend a little time with one of our Host Home Providers they are interested in before a contract is signed, and they are moved into your home. However, if your training certifications and insurance requirements have been met, you can offer to provide respite care for a Host Home Provider who would like a short term break. Homes that are wheelchair accessible and those that are willing and able to accept clients with behavioral challenges are always in demand.  Also, you are not obligated to provide host home services for A Glimmer of Hope, LLC., only.  There are other agencies available!
