Abstract
The community-based group home is the youngest among the several forms of full-time care of children away from their own homes. The concept was developed to meet a gap between foster family care and institutional life, primarily for adolescents who require a stable, small group living experience that provides structure and controls within a caring, therapeutic environment. This environment is intended to avoid on the one hand the emotional intimacy and demands of foster family living, and on the other, the greater isolation, impersonality, or depersonalization of institutions. Children below the age of adolescence who require separation from their families can generally be contained and treated adequately in foster family homes.
