The Care Association offers a Host Home Program for all eligible Host Home Providers in Colorado as well as many other states. Our insurance program provides you, as a provider, with General Liability, Professional Liability and HIPAA Privacy Liability coverage.

What is a Host Home Provider


It is important to distinguish what a ‘Host Home’ is.  A Host Home is, an individual who provides what is referred to as individual residential services and supports (IRSS) in his or her own home to a persons with developmental disabilities over the age of 18.  Host Homes provide 24/7 care to an individual living in their homes. Host Homes are considered by many as Adult Foster Care for developmentally disabled adults.
