Vice-Lane Family – Brainerd, MN

Vice-Lane family ready to open loving home to support someone in need

We are Cyndi and Shana Vice-Lane. We live in Brainerd, Minnesota with our three kids, who range in age from 8 to 17. We also have two dogs. We are a close family and enjoy spending as much time as we can together. We enjoy having bonfires, listening to music, and having movie nights. We think it should be an easy transition for whomever we support to fit into our home. We are laid back, fun and easy going. Previous people who we shared our home with have said they felt very welcomed and accepted, and that is all we hope we can do for someone we support. 

A perfect day for us would include spending time together. The most important thing to us is family and we are happiest when we can be together. We enjoy going to parks, beaches, and the YMCA. Our neighborhood is quiet, and we have amazing neighbors. 

The person we support will have their own bedroom, already furnished with a twin bed and dresser, as well as a closet. They are free to make the space their own. Shared spaces include the bathrooms, living room, dining room, kitchen, and yard. We all help around the house when it is needed. We would expect the person who moves in to take their time getting comfortable and then they can help to the best of their abilities. 

Cyndi has worked in group homes, memory care hospitals, as an in-home caretaker, and enjoys helping and taking care of others. We have done foster care for the last two years, which has given us more experience in learning how to support individuals. We hope we can provide a loving and warm home environment for the individual we support and help them move towards their goals.
