#116: What Is a Group Home? Understanding Housing Options for Adults with Disabilities


Listen Later

In this episode, Eric Goll opens up about a common but challenging question many families face: what is a group home, and is it truly the right choice for your loved one with a developmental disability?

 

Listeners will discover:

- The three main types of group homes and how they differ

- The real pros and cons families experience with group homes

- Important safety considerations every family should know

- Practical, hopeful alternatives to create a true home environment

 

This conversation matters because housing impacts not just safety, but independence, dignity, and quality of life. Group homes are not the only path—there are ordinary, empowering options that honor your loved one’s unique needs and dreams.
