"It's the best thing I've ever done." — Terry, To The Rescue Host Home Provider

When Terry and Craig welcomed Brian and Jose into their home, they didn't just change two lives—they completely transformed their own. By opening their hearts and sharing their lives, they found a profound sense of fulfillment, purpose, and daily joy.

Today, Brian and Jose are truly part of the family. Together, they share everything from everyday routines and holiday celebrations to exciting outings and family trips, learning and growing as a unit.

As Terry shares, "Advocating for them, and providing them help and support they wouldn't otherwise have; it's so rewarding."

Listen to Terry's moving testimony to hear more about their journey. If you are ready to bring meaningful change, joy, and purpose into your own life and home, contact To The Rescue today to learn how you can become a Host Home Provider.

You can offer a stable, supportive home to an individual who would otherwise not know what it's like to feel safe, supported, and accepted.

On becoming a Host Home Provider with To The Rescue, our providers state that it is the single best decision they have ever made — both for themselves, and their host home member.

To The Rescue provides supported community living hourly services that help individuals with disabilities live independently in the community. Our supportive community living services are provided in the home or in the community.

To The Rescue addresses the desires, goals, abilities, needs, health and safety of each individual. To The Rescue helps to foster community integration, seek and develop natural support and promote an active and healthy lifestyle. These services are perfect for a loved one who may not require residential or SCL living but do need extra supports for some daily activities.

Trained direct service professionals (DSP’s) help members in a one-on-one setting with a minimum required timeframe. Member needs are assessed with member, family, case manager and staff to determine essential learning and enrichment activities.

Now serving Eastern and Central Iowa.

"We assist members with finding a home where they can learn new skills, gain independence, and live in a family environment. The services are tailored to meet each individual's needs. We understand that the types and levels of support everyone needs are different, and our host home services reflect that. With our host homes model, our members are able to get more 1:1 support, engage in activities as often as they'd like, and build close relationships with their provider families."

~Calista Mason, To The Rescue Human Services Coordinator
