A waiver home is an alternative to institutions for the elderly and people with behavioral or mental conditions/disabilities. 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. Staff also help them understand that living in a waiver home is not a final chapter where someone "put" them, but rather, a new chapter where they can function to the best of their abilities with trained staff members who are aware of each individual's circumstances. 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.
