residents often experience serioys injuries in group homes
 

In response to media stories and a congressional request about abuse and neglect of developmentally disabled residents in group homes, OIG launched a series of audits that found that these residents often experienced serious injuries and medical conditions that resulted in emergency room visits. OIG also found that up to 99 percent of these critical incidents were not reported to the appropriate law enforcement or state agencies, as required.
