NES Host Home and Professional Parent supports are a great alternative to traditional group home settings.  Qualified individuals who wish to live with a professional parent or in a host home are placed in a safe, supportive home environment with certified families.  These families provide daily support supervision, training and meaningful activities tailored to each individuals’s needs, creating a true sense of belonging and care.  

To ensure the highest quality of care all NES Host Home and Professional Parent providers go through a rigorous certification process. Prospective parents must pass comprehensive background checks, meet strict home inspection standards (both internally and through the state), provide strong recommendations, and demonstrate excellence in care.  Only those who meet these high standards are approved, ensuring that every individual is welcomed into a safe, nurturing and reliable home.
