The traditional group home

• The way in which DDS traditionally supplies residential services to those who do qualify for 24/7 funding

• 4 residents

• Home owned or leased by a service provider

• Money assigned to the provider; if the individual leaves, no guarantee funding will follow

• Less than 1:1 staffing, although an aide can be allocated in certain cases

• Not necessarily a good fit for those with intense behaviors or special diets
