By Karen Bertrand Adult family homes offer a wide variety of options for the residents of our community. The family setting gives the individuals a home atmosphere which plays a part in their everyday quality of life. These homes are licensed by the Department of Social and Health Services.
Most homes have specialty licenses for individual needs.
Specialty Mental Health Homes specializes in working with people that have a mental health diagnosis i.e. bi-polar, schizophrenia, etc. The staff are trained in issues related to different developmental conditions. When choosing a home for your loved one you can never be too thorough. Ask about the history of the Adult Family Home. Timing is everything regarding the movement of a loved one to a care facility.
