Here are some of your rights when you live in a Group Home. From the first day you move in, you can have visitors and you can go out to visit your family and friends. It is a good idea to let the staffperson know where you're going and when you plan to be back. You can use the phone for a reasonable amount of time each day. Be considerate, the phone is for everyone's use.
Local calls are free.
You pay for long distance calls. Your personal mail is not to be opened by anyone, but you. The Group Home must provide breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. If you do not like something that is on the menu, let the staffperson know if you are on a special diet or allergic to any foods. Your meals and snacks are not to be taken away from you.
