With that said, there are some considerations to take.<\/span><br \/>\n[gravityform id=&#8221;2&#8243; title=&#8221;true&#8221; description=&#8221;true&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2><b>What to Look for in a Group Home<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not all group homes are the same, and some provide better care than others. Take your time to choose the best one, and don\u2019t settle for a group home if you think it\u2019s not a good fit.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some things you can ask about during your inquiry:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How many staff are working every given time?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is the ratio of staff to residents?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What training or experience do staff have?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are the staff caring and respectful?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is the turnover rate for staff?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What do residents do during the day?\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Does my child have to share a room with roommates?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What house chores will my child have to do?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When can my child have visitors?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How can other family members or I stay in touch with my child?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is there transportation, such as to work or for doctor&#8217;s visits?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Does the home seem safe, clean, and organized?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Does the neighborhood feel safe?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s best to visit a group home at different times of the day so you can see how the staff and the home are like in the day, evening, weekdays, and weekends. Don\u2019t settle for less, and ensure that it will be a safe space that your child can enjoy.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How Much Do Group Homes Cost?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Group homes can either be free for your child and family or be very expensive. The costs usually depend on many factors, and you need to consider the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your child has the Home and Community-Based Services (HCS) waiver, they can live in a group home for free since HCS will pay for the service.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You need to get a waiver list now to plan for your child\u2019s future. Waiver lists are usually long, so even if you\u2019re still unsure about which services your child will need, it\u2019s good to get one now.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your child does not have an HCS waiver, group homes are estimated to cost $2000 or more every month. So, they\u2019re costly if you\u2019re only paying on your own.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Conclusion<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It can be overwhelming to think about where your child will live as a young adult when you can\u2019t care for them anymore. Other than group homes, you may also consider state-supported living centers. Some families also opt for setting up apartments next to each other where some adult children live, and the family members work together to take care of them.\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your child has the Medicaid HCS waiver, you can choose the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">host home\/companion care <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">option, where your child can live with you or another family. This pays you as their caregiver or allows you to hire a caregiver to come into your home. Either way, preparation for your child\u2019s future must begin today.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Group Home Riches provides group home resources that empower others to make a living while serving those in need.
