Adult family homes (supportive housing programs) provide a quieter and more personal living arrangement for patients who need supervision. The patient becomes a part of the family structure and is expected to fit into the normal routines of the household performing routine tasks of daily living when appropriate. The patient may not have a private bedroom and will have only the independence they are capable of managing effectively and safely. Any place-ment is intended to ensure a clean, safe place to live.

It is not rec-ommended to set the expectation that the family will receive a gift with each visit.
