I am sorry, it sounds frustrating.
sorry I am not being much help.
Yes there are a few group homes in our town but they are deplorable. All of them allow the residents to drink, smoke, wander around town. She is so immature and vulnerable that it is terrifying. She tries to fit in but in the past, they have done more harm than good. What really worked was an Adult Day Care where she had time with others while her parents worked and could learn social skills but after one month our State said they erred and since she gets SSI they had determined that she received $1.30 too much for eligibility! I have spoken to everyone at our State Health & Human Services office to no avail they simply won't continue to allow her to go unless she pays for the entire daily program which we cannot afford. Both her counselor and psychiatrist pleaded her case to the State but to no avail. How this cannot be a travesty is beyond me!
