Group Living

1. Homelike Community Setting: Group living homes are designed to resemble a community setting rather than an institutional setting. This approach is meant to create a comfortable and familiar living space that promotes a sense of belonging and comfort for each individual.

2.    24-Hour Staffing: Each home is staffed around the clock, ensuring that individuals have access to support and assistance whenever needed. 24-hour awake staffing is approved on a case by case basis.

3.    Support in Activities of Daily Living (ADLs): Individuals in group living settings receive assistance with activities of daily living, which may include tasks such as bathing, dressing, grooming, meal preparation, and medication management. The goal is to enable individuals to maintain or improve their independence in these fundamental aspects of daily life.

4.    Community Integration: A crucial aspect of group living is the promotion of community integration. Individuals are encouraged to participate in social activities, engage with their peers, and become involved in the broader community. This focus helps individuals build social connections and lead fulfilling lives.

5.    Individualized Support Plans: Each individual has an individualized support plan that is tailored to their specific needs, preferences, and goals. This personalized approach ensures that the support provided is aligned with the unique requirements of each individual.

6.    Skill Development: Group living environments offer opportunities for individuals to develop and enhance life skills. This could include training in budgeting, cooking, communication, and other skills that contribute to increased independence and self-sufficiency.

7.    Social and Recreational Activities: Beyond healthcare, residential homes offer social and recreational activities to enhance the quality of life for each individual. Engaging in social interactions and participating in enjoyable activities contribute to the overall well-being of individuals in these homes.
