Upon relocating to Western Maryland, Taylor lived with her adoptive family until her mother filed theft charges and could not handle multiple maladaptive behaviors.

In March 2014, Taylor transferred to the Barr House when a residential bed was available. The Barr House provided more structure than the main group home, with intense services. Taylor was unable to complete the program due to Barr House closing in November 2014.
