An entity in Nevada’s most populous city that facilitates residential care within a private residence for individuals with disabilities or those requiring supportive living arrangements. These entities connect individuals needing care with suitable homes and oversee the provision of services within those homes, ensuring a safe and supportive environment. For example, an individual with developmental disabilities might reside in a private home under the care and supervision of a provider approved to offer this service.
This type of residential support offers a potentially more personalized and cost-effective alternative to larger institutional settings. It fosters independence and community integration for residents, promoting a higher quality of life. Historically, this model represents a shift from institutionalization toward person-centered care, emphasizing individual choice and the right to live and participate fully in the community.
