What is a Group Home?

A group home is a residential facility providing supervision and care for individuals who need assistance with daily living but don't require institutional care. These homes serve various populations including people with developmental disabilities, mental health conditions, or those recovering from substance abuse, offering a supportive living environment with staff assistance.

Why group homes matter

• Promotes independence: Allows residents to live in a community setting while receiving necessary support for daily activities
• Provides structured support: Offers 24-hour supervision and assistance with medication management, meals, and personal care
• Facilitates social integration: Creates opportunities for residents to develop social skills and participate in community activities
