Traditional settings in which people with IDD live and receive long-term supports and services include own home, family home, host/foster family home, group home, ICF/IID, and various institutional settings (e.g., IDD facilities, nursing homes, psychiatric facilities).
We want to know more about other types of settings in which people with IDD who need ongoing supports and services live. What are those settings called? What are their key characteristics? How are they funded? Who lives in them?
Where should we look and who should we talk to to learn more about these other settings?
Such a great question! Also interesting to ask how do the communities originate? Who decides on the model and determines that it meets a need in the community? What types of services and supports do people receive in these settings? Are any/many of these communities mixed-used (eg, supporting both seniors and people with IDD)? Do they tend to be disability specific models or cross-disability?
