Group Homes and Adult Day Care Centers are used by:
- Families who are unable to handle the extensive 24-hour needs of their disabled family member
- Family caregivers during daytime hours to allow them to work or to give them a period of respite from the demands of caring for a disabled loved one
- Developmentally disabled citizens
Responsibilities of Group Homes
Group Homes and Adult Day Care Centers can provide a positive, safe and healthy environment for mentally, physically or developmentally challenged people, allowing them to live and grow according to their individual needs and abilities. The disabled, however, may be vulnerable to neglect and abuse because of their disabilities and difficulty in speaking up for themselves. Group Homes and Adult Day Care Centers at times fail to meet their obligations, and cause outright physical and emotional harm, and even death, to those entrusted to their care.
The operators of Group Homes and Adult Day Care Centers have an obligation to:
- Provide services that adequately meet the unique needs of their residents
- Provide adequate and appropriately trained staff
- Prevent the occurrence of negligence and abuse
