A group home is a form of children’s home in which children and staff live in a regular house inside the community, separated from the main childcare facility. The house offers a variety of comfortable places for children to choose from, depending on their mental and physical conditions, such as a staircase where they can also sit and a low-ceilinged space.
By showing to local residents the presence of the family, the facility will not become a black box. At first glance, it is just a house, but it is designed to solve various social problems faced by children’s homes and prevent accidents from occurring.
