Placement Process

When ABLE Residential recieves a request to find a home for an individual, our first step is to learn as much as possible about the person. A long-term placemnet is more likely to occure when a proper match is made between the individual and the host home provider. Some of the factors considered when looking for a match are:

• Do the host home provider and person looking for services have a similar activity level.
• Can the host home provider support the individual's needs.
• Do they like similar activites
• Are the personalities of host home provider and person looking for services compatible.
• Could the placemnet be long term.
