People with disabilities who require continuous available support often prefer to live in a home rather than a segregated facility or group home.

People with disabilities benefit from the consistency of knowing who will be there to assist them day after day. While the provider families have trained and certified back-up workers, the primary care is delivered by the same people. Shift changes, which can be disruptive for some people, disappear. The daily schedule is created around the needs of the individual, rather than the needs of the program.

The respect that the community grants to a well-established family will be naturally extended to a person with a disability who lives with the family. Inclusion into the community occurs naturally without the negative reaction and fear that can occur when a multiple bed group home is built in a neighborhood.
