Eye on Oversight - Group Homes

Every year in the United States, developmentally disabled Americans living in group homes have severe injuries and medical conditions that require trips to emergency rooms. HHS-OIG found that states failed to report up to 99 percent of these critical incidents to investigators, as required. As a result, HHS-OIG and its government partners put together a joint report to provide tools for states to drive better health and safety outcomes for group home residents.
