Is it true that care homes on housing developments are not allowed to put a notice on the property to say this is a care home in case of prejudice from local residents. I was told this once from a staff member at a care home. If that’s true that’s awful?
I’m unsure of that one Haz as I have not been involved with residential care since 2000, basically the local authorities will ask me to write a plan in what support our client will need to live an active, independent life from his/her own home. I then number crunch on what funding would be required and then help the families to choose what are the best option for their son/daughter. My Brother is 38, he has been living independently with support from his carers since 2000.
I can say this though I worked in a residential school for Autism in Swanage, Dorset. The elderly people of the town used to look a the kids as if they had three heads, they were never done bitching about the school. I could have filled 3 of the bandits pound coin whisky bottles by the replies that I had given them back, my favourite being “You wouldn’t be saying that if it was your son would you now so FUCK OFF”, worked a treat lol.
