Overview
This bill requires the Division of Developmental Disabilities in New Jersey to create guidelines for placing individuals in Level 1 and Level 2 group homes, as well as for transferring residents between these levels. Level 1 homes are for individuals with manageable behavioral challenges, while Level 2 homes are for those with persistent behaviors posing a risk of harm. The guidelines will consider an individual’s needs, behavior patterns, and safety risks, and aim to align with existing standards from another state agency. The goal is to ensure safer and more appropriate placements for individuals with developmental disabilities.
