VITAL Services : What We Do : Programs & Services : Residential Programs : Extendend Family Homes

An extended family home (EFH) creates an opportunity for people with disabilities to live in a private family home while receiving individualized care. Families must go through an extensive screening and training program before being matched with an individual who will move into their home. The EFH can be an ideal transition for individuals who have been living in a group home or independently, but now require more individualized care. The family can provide support with self-care needs, money management, medical care, and leisure/recreational activities.
