Ideal Adult Family Home
Specialized support requires careful verification.
The Adult Family Home Council directory lists Specialized Behavior Support and Expanded contract categories. Availability and eligibility must be confirmed.
Do not rely on a website label alone. Specialized contract status, referral rules, funding, staffing, and resident fit can change. Contact the home and the relevant case manager or state program.
Questions for the provider
- Which specialized contracts are active today?
- What assessment, referral, or funding criteria apply?
- What training and staffing are available for the specific need?
- How are positive behavior supports developed and reviewed?
- How are incidents, rights restrictions, and crisis plans documented?
- What circumstances could require transfer to another setting?
Documents to review
Ask for the current disclosure of services, resident agreement, negotiated care plan, house policies, emergency plan, fee schedule, and any specialized support plan applicable to the resident.
