Currently there is one see also link: one specific group home. This doesn't seem useful. Any objection to removing it? -- Alynna ( talk) 02:09, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
This seems to be a terribly US-centric article. Which state did the mandating? What on earth is "deinstitutionalization"? Philip Trueman ( talk) 12:30, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

In France, it seem to be a Établissement médico-social. A big category that contain "Group homes" for elderly, disabled peoples, children… Elderly care -- Pyrog ( talk) 15:01, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
First off, the start of the page is saying that all American group homes are for adults with serious health complications, which is 100% incorrect, and is lying that everyone in a group home is a grown up, and that they're all seriously sick physically, or seriously challenged physically. Then, it lies that group homes almost always have only six people in them. Group homes for children are significantly more than six kids per group home. Six kids is foster care, not a group home. Whoever wrote the top paragraphs of this page doesn't know what they're talking about at all. And, the top of the page lies that that information is the United States' present norms, which is completely bogus. Most group homes in the U.S. are for children, and most of those kids are healthy. Most group homes in the U.S. are for children in need of families, and have much more than six "residents." And, adult group homes don't require a high severity of handicapment, nor are all the disabled adults in group homes physically disabled, many are mentally disabled either from retardation, or from a Serious Mental Illness. Whoever wrote the article as it presently is vandalized the page, in my opinion. -- 184.101.207.130 ( talk) 03:17, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
