What is Group Home Care?

Group home care is a type of treatment and care that is given to a group of people within a residence, all with similar needs and/or disabilities. This kind of treatment can be used for people who, for whatever reason, are unable to manage on their own and in their own homes. With the group arrangement, each individual gets the care they need along with others who all live in the same building or community. 

Many families appreciate group home environments because they offer safe, supportive environments where their loved ones are cared for no matter what. Caring for a family member with a disability can be very difficult and overwhelming. The obligations and responsibilities that come with providing this level of care can be extremely difficult for some people, especially if they must work, attend to other obligations, or are dealing with their own health needs. In addition, individuals who need group home care might need assistance from someone with experience or skills that the average family member might not have. Our group home care facilities are staffed by qualified professionals and adhere to all regulations.

If you are looking for a safe, affordable, and enriching home environment for an elderly or disabled loved one, a group home care arrangement might be perfect for your needs.

We work with individuals and families throughout the Fayetteville, Wilmington, Durham, Raleigh, and Greensboro, NC areas.

Benefits of Group Home Care

While it might seem overwhelming to consider a group home for a loved one with disabilities, there are many benefits to the arrangement. Keep the following points in mind as you make your decision; there are many ways that group home services benefits an individual as well as their loved ones.

• Safety: Most houses or apartments are not designed around disabilities. Altering your living space to accommodate these special needs can be prohibitively expensive, impractical, or even impossible. Group homes are specifically designed to handle residents with your loved one's special needs. Our facilities, equipment, and staff are carefully vetted to ensure the safety of our residents at all times. You can have peace of mind that your disabled loved one will be safe in our group home care facility.
• Comprehensive Care: Your loved one's needs will depend on his or her abilities and medical situation. At our group home, they will get the personalized assistance and care that they need to remain safe, healthy, and comfortable. Our caring staff will treat your loved one with respect and encourage them to remain as self-sufficient as possible while still receiving the care and assistance they need when necessary.
• Increased Independence: Your loved one will be able to enjoy an increased level of independence when they take advantage of our group home care. Our services are designed to provide personalized care that gives residents the care they need while encouraging independence and dignity. One of the most difficult things about dealing with a disability is the feeling of helplessness; our home care services ensure that your loved one remains safe while allowing them to have as much control as possible.
• Social Connections: Social activities add joy and focus to anyone's life. They also improve quality of life and stimulate the mind. As part of their group home care experience, your loved one will have the opportunity to interact with other residents through social activities. They will be able to play games, participate in hobbies, and build valuable relationships.
• Family Involvement: We encourage families and loved ones to visit and get involved! You'll still be able to spend plenty of time with your loved one; if applicable, you may also be able to maintain an active role in his or her ongoing treatment plan and future plans.

Is Group Home Care Right for Your Loved One?

People who receive group home care can have a number of different medical conditions. Many group home residents have Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, or dementia. Other group homes have residents with physical limitations that hinder their ability to care for themselves or their homes, while others might be home to individuals with intellectual disabilities. Group home care can be appropriate for elderly residents or younger individuals alike.

Is a group home setting right for your loved one? Ask yourself some questions to determine whether this type of service is a good match for your family member or close friend.

• Are They Older? Seniors who are not ready for assisted living but would like the convenience of meal preparation and the reduction of household responsibilities might benefit from group home care.
• Do They Have Cognitive Problems? People with some impairment or other neurological conditions might benefit from increased supervision but don't need as much security as other patients.
• Do They Have Physical Disabilities? If your loved one is unable to physically care for themselves, a group home care setting can keep them safe and healthy.
• Do You Have Other Obligations? Group home care is ideal for families who need to work or otherwise have obligations that prevent them from providing full-time care. A group setting provides peace of mind that your loved one will be given the care they need.
