Cadmus Lifesharing Association is a community of five households which support people with disabilities. Lifesharing, which is different from the more traditional shared living, simply means that people with and without intellectual and developmental disabilities live together in a mutually supportive way. Cadmus households are led by single people or couples who make long-term commitments to Lifesharing and may also include their children. Lifesharing households include one or more volunteers who typically give one year of service to live within our Lifesharing households. They get to know the individuals as family members and are trusted partners in giving support. Our volunteers often say that they get more from living within our households than they give.
