Supervised Living Group Homes:
Supervised Living Group Homes are often
confused with Family Care homes. A Supervised Living Group Home
provides 24-hour residential services to individuals in a home
environment. The prime purpose of these services is the care,
habilitation or rehabilitation of individuals who have a mental
illness, developmental disability or a substance abuse disorder.
A Supervised Living Group Home is required to be licensed if it
serves two or more adult clients or one or more children. Facilities
can be licensed for up to six residents. Each home is licensed
to serve a particular population and disability groups are generally
not commingled. Child and adult residents are not permitted to
reside in the same facility.
Supervised Living Group Homes are licensed and regulated by the State
Division of Facility Services. The Division of Facility Services
also carries out the monitoring of care of these homes as well as
complaint investigations. A complete list of homes in North Carolina
by county can be found at http://facility-services.state.nc.us/data.htm.
