Ohio Shared Living

At The Epilepsy Center of Northwest Ohio, we are proud to be a provider agency for Ohio Shared Living (OSL). This program gives people with developmental disabilities the opportunity to live in a supportive home environment while building meaningful, lasting relationships.

Ohio Shared Living caregivers provide daily care and support in a home setting. Caregivers and the people they support share routines, meals, and experiences that foster independence and connection.

OSL is more than just services—it’s about sharing life together.
