State Plan Residential Services - Adult family homes informational video
Did you know adult family homes are a residential service in the community that may provide the supports you need? We have created a video showcasing three different adult family homes that support people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to live the life they each want.
Adult family homes are privately owned or rented by licensed providers within community-based neighborhoods. They are licensed to care for two to eight residents who are 18 years or older. Adult family homes offer many services, including shared or single rooms, meals, laundry, supervision, medication administration and different levels of assistance tailored to individual support needs.
We expect all adult family home providers and their caregivers to support each resident by focusing on the following areas:
• Health and safety.
• Assistance with daily activities and pursuing personal goals.
• Empowerment through choice.
• Recognition of status and contributions, both individually and collectively.
• Inclusion in the physical and social life of their communities.
• Maintaining relationships with relatives and friends.
