Staff is trained to help each consumer understand that living in a waiver home means that they are required to be considerate of others and respectful of the rules in their homes.

The group home situation allows the individual to develop skills in:
- Financial management
- Cooking
- Cleaning
- Shopping.
An individual can also learn more about personal relationships and connecting to their community.
