An Institution is a segregated facility where a large number of unrelated people in need of care, support, or supervision live together and receive all their support and care. Institutions are segregated from the community.
There are still people living in state institutions today. And, it has been questioned as to whether states violate the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) when they limit the number of participants to home and community based waiver programs. However, states chose to participate in these programs. Our best hope is to get statutes changed at the federal level.
