Group Home provides what type of care?

• A. 24-hour residential care for 3-10 adults with chronic disabilities
• B. In-home services for homebound clients
• C. Advanced practice for NICU
• D. Terminal illness care

Answer: (A)

Group homes are a 24-hour residential setting for adults with chronic disabilities, typically housing a small group (about three to ten residents) and providing around-the-clock supervision and support. The goal is to help residents manage daily living tasks, stay safe, and participate in meaningful activities within a community setting, while promoting as much independence as possible. This setting is distinct from in-home services, which are delivered in a person’s own home to those who are homebound, from neonatal intensive care for newborns, or from hospice care for terminal illness. In occupational therapy, the focus in this setting is on adapting daily routines, environments, and skills to support participation and independence within the group-home milieu.
