Residential services for people with a disability are based largely in own door supported accommodation or small group homes (comprised of 6 individuals or less living in the house). Such facilities are fundamentally different from large, congregated LTRCF settings both in terms of risk and the needs of the individual and require a specific approach. This document outlines such an approach based on a risk assessment to address visiting individuals in such facilities and visits from individuals to their family homes (or corresponding setting).
