Group homes · question
What are group homes called now?
Group homes are called by each state’s own license names now: there is no one new name, and “group home” is the everyday word that families and owners still use.
A few states still have a license with “group home” in it; most use other names for small care homes for adults. Here they are for seven states, each next to the official page.

Checked against each linked page on 2 November 2026. This is a plain summary, not legal advice: the rule itself, or the agency, has the final word.
On your site
Use the exact name on your license once, near the top, then say in plain words what it means: who lives with you and the support you give.
Families search the everyday words, like group home or care home. Case managers and support coordinators search the official ones. A site that has both is found by both.
Not sure what yours is called? It’s printed on your license, and the agency that issued it can tell you.
