Currently hiring for a graveyard position. This position is an awake shift and comes with a pay differential.

About Liberty Living:

Liberty Living, LLC was founded in 2019 by Don & Kasia Marsters after 10 years of operating an AFH (Adult Foster Home) with 3 of the same residents who currently live in the program. They felt the residents deserved the opportunity to grow and "move out" just like Don and Kasia's 3 older children did. Apart from other agencies, we hold to the value of person-centered care, not just for the residents we support but all people under our umbrella. We value the opportunity to stay small with 6 residents and 15-25 employees, spread across 2 houses and one office, all located on the same property, with no intention of becoming any larger. We host Holiday open houses or parties to celebrate the accomplishments of everyone in our program. We strive to take two Agency camping trips a year where employees are invited to come and visit and participate in fun activities. Our Agency Directors are on site weekly and make frequent stops in the homes or occasionally take the residents out for coffee dates or community activities. We emphasize the open-door policy to all employees; our goal is for everyone to have a sense of family and openly communicate amongst each other and to all levels within the Agency for our residents' and personal well-being. We encourage everyone on our team to have a voice and make suggestions towards improving the care we provide to the residents and one another. Our House Managers are required to have scheduled working hours in the homes weekly as well as rotating on-call weekends so there is always someone available.
