The level of care needed by the adult to be placed is the key determining factor in deciding the type of setting that is most appropriate. When the Department of Health and Human Resources is involved in assisting with placement of an incapacitated adult, the goal is always to find the least restrictive option that is appropriate to meet the individual’s needs. The options that are considered for placement by DHHR are, from the least restrictive to most restrictive, Adult Family Care Homes, Residential Board and Care Homes, and Personal Care Homes. If the adult’s need for care exceeds the care available in these types of setting, nursing home care is generally required.
