These individuals or organizations offer residential settings within their private homes for individuals with disabilities, providing support and care tailored to individual needs. This arrangement allows vulnerable populations to live in a family-like environment, often fostering greater independence and integration into the community. The service includes assistance with daily living activities, medication management, and participation in social and recreational opportunities.
Such arrangements provide an alternative to larger institutional settings, often leading to improved quality of life and personalized care. The availability of these supportive residences can significantly reduce the burden on families and caregivers, while also promoting the individual’s self-determination. Historically, this type of care model has evolved from a need to provide more compassionate and individualized care for individuals who benefit from a structured, home-based setting.
