Group Home Services
In-Pact's Group Homes conform to all Federal ICF-MR regulations and are surveyed annually and licensed by the Indiana State Department of Health. Funding for the Group Homes is through Medicaid. For those who are eligible, a daily rate covers most costs except personal items.
Family Involvement
In-Pact welcomes and encourages family involvement, frequent home visits and participation in all program planning and development. Family support is a very valuable part of a person's growth and success.
The Advantage of Group Homes

- The homes offer a family-like environment for up to six children or adults in each home.
- The homes are located close to a consumer's natural family in residential, single-family neighborhoods.
