I’m not sure if a group home is the best residential option for my loved one. Can I try it out for a period of time, and switch to another residential option (e.g., Host or in-home support) provided or contracted through your company if the group home doesn’t work out? If so, is there a specific amount of time required by your company before such a switch is made?

Your loved one can switch between residential models (e.g., group home vs Host) at any time, which is your right in the HCS program. We do not intervene to promote or restrict your choice of residential model; we fully support your decision, no matter what it is. We will provide you with a full explanation at any time regarding the different choices, and keep you informed about openings in our group homes if you find that switching group homes might be helpful in solving a problem. In the ICF program, we will also keep you informed of such openings, and strive to accommodate your choices.
