APD Area: 10
Practice: This is a Group Home provider located in Broward County that understood that most of the individuals residing in their homes wanted to have keys to enter their homes but they were concerned about safety and losing their keys or ending in the wrong hands. The provider purchased key lock boxes for each home through Amazon and each individual gets trained on how to use the box with a private code and trained on how to open the front door with supervision. The locks are modern ones similar to those used by Realtors.
Who Benefits? How? The individuals residing in their homes by accessing and entering their homes.
How could others apply this in practice? Following on their initiative and modeling after them. This is all about the individuals receiving services.
