group home
Communal living facility
A group home is a residence where people who need supervision or support live together under professional care.
Residents are typically individuals with developmental disabilities, mental illness, or elderly people requiring assistance.
Group homes aim to provide a homelike environment rather than institutional care: He moved from the facility to a group home in the suburbs.
