Home and Community Development

A family home means the house where a married couple lives together as a unit. In most cases, it means the home of a couple and their children and even some extended family members. On the other hand, a rehabilitation centre, normally, offers services to addicts, people with physical disabilities, pervasive development disorder patients and intellectual disability victims (Drug Abuse and Treatment Rehabilitation, 16). A rehabilitation centre can offer both inpatient and outpatient services. The paper seeks to explore the advantages of living in a family home as compared to living in a rehabilitation centre. The main purpose of the paper is to prove the statement; “Family homes are better than

* Environment: The environment that initially shapes our development is our home. As we mature, the locations in which we interact will shape our development.

Faith can be defined as a spiritual entity that can shape a person’s confidence. My faith has influenced the young woman that I am today. I characterize myself as a person who is optimistic, intelligent, full of self-confidence, independent, and charismatic. My faith has delivered me through a lot of trials and tribulations. I come from a low income, single parent home, where the sight of Lupus and kidney failure is taking my mother’s life. These circumstances have made Carolina Medical Center my second home; I have celebrated Christmases and birthdays right beside my mother's hospital bed. Even though she is sick, we make time to give back to the community. As a child, I was taught the hard work of volunteering: from working with Operation Christmas Child, feeding the homeless, and volunteering at my church’s annual back to school drive. My journey has encouraged me to want to become a role model for young girls and women. I want to show them that your past does not define you, but the content of your character does. My mission to help young women strongly correlates with the purpose of Alpha Kappa Alpha

I was very keen to join the working world as soon as I was old enough to do so, and as a result I have acquired a wide range of professional skills and experiences. I

The goal of healing homes is to develop and foster nurturing Hispanic adoptive and foster homes that responds to the cultural, emotional, and behavioral needs of at-risk Hispanic youths in the foster care system. Rooted in the belief that every child walks their own path and has the ability to reach full potential, Healing Homes focuses on a curriculum that teaches parents and caregivers how to be better listeners and supportive parents and enables children to improve. According to Dettlaf & Rycraft (2010), “immigrant Latino children and families represent the largest and fastest-growing population in the United States, and thus require the attention of child welfare systems and the development of evidence-based practices designed to respond to the unique needs of this population.”

Residential electricians are trained professionals dealing with any type of electrical work that a home has. The broad nature of the amount of electrical work inside a modern home is also why mostly all electricians are licensed and were properly trained at the trade. The work typically goes in phases, and starts with the simple rough wiring of the entire house, and will eventually end as a finished product with lights, outlets, and everything else you see that is powered.

We plan to use the Covenant House of Atlanta as our parent organization. The Covenant House was created in 2000 with the goal of creating a home for Atlanta’s homeless youth. Children are never turned away and are provided shelter and resources, as well as someone to talk to. Their services are designed to help children in need attain self-sufficiency. Their services range from outreach to mental health services and include crisis care and assistance with independent living.

The case study “Lean Concepts in Healthcare: A Return on Investment Study,” focused on the “reVIEW” (Realizing Exceptional Value in Everyday Work) program, which was a training and implementation program initiated at Home Town Care, a Pennsylvania based, long-term care facility (Phillips & Phillips, 2012). The study examines how the Phillips ROI Methodology was utilized to assess three projects that were implemented by employees as a part of the reVIEW program (Phillips & Phillips, 2012). The overall goal of the reVIEW program was to introduce Home Town Care employees to lean principles and methods over the course of seven weeks (Phillips & Phillips, 2012). The lean principles applied here although generally utilized in the manufacturing industry, were applicable in improving Home Town Care’s efficiency and quality of service.

Residential group homes were developed to house youth who need psychological support, psychiatric support and behavioral support . The origins of residential group homes can be dated back to over 100 years ago to the development of orphanages (Fruendlich, Morris,

What is home? If one looks in a dictionary the answer would come out to be, “The place where one lives permanently, especially as a member of a family or household.” However, for anyone who has had an actual home, they would know that such a term goes much beyond its concrete description. It is an impassioned aspect filled with values and foundation of nurturing. A home is not just an abode built to live in; in fact, that is just a definition of a house. Home is a place where one not only feels comfortable, but a place they look forward to opportunely live in every day. A home is built not by bricks or wood, but with the bond of family. A home is a place that reminds a person of countless memories and values when he walks through a
