Guest guest Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 I know a couple of families who are doing this, they own the house, 24 hour supervision is paid for by HCS waiver. They could not find a provider that had a suitable 3/4 bed group home close to where they live, so they recruited other families and went in together on the house. This would be a golden opportunity to buy a house seeing how houses are not moving well on the market, and people are motivated to sell at a reasonable price.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 I know there are some successful Human Service Co-ops (HSC) in other states – these are like microboards, except they are for a group of individuals who collectively pool their Medicaid-waiver funds together. This would be a GREAT way of running a group home. The HSC becomes the service provider and can make its own decisions about services, employee wages, etc. Geraldine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
