#group home

[zebulontheplanet]

Listen y’all, I understand that assisted living facilities and group homes are notorious for being bad and sometimes even abusive, however when I reach out to the community and ask for advice relating to me possibly going into assisted living or a group home, your automatic response shouldn’t be to attack me.

To automatically assume that it’s my parents who are pressuring me into it. To assume that I don’t need it. To say that I’m a horrible person for even suggesting it. Some of us can’t live on our own and don’t have the best home life. I HAVE to look at other options and I honestly don’t think having support care come to a house or apartment I own is for me. (Not to mention I probably will never be able to work enough or at all to be able to afford my own place)

It’s very…demeaning. I understand completely why some people are on the fence about it and have had bad experiences because I know there’s more bad then good experiences, but please don’t assume. Please don’t attack me for just asking questions.

It’s really annoying and I will start blocking people who do it.

IF JORJA WERE QUEEN OF GROUP HOME

I live in a group home. it is a county run residential facility for disabled people. I have lived here for three years. this is what i would change.

A: choice. i was placed here after a month in the psych ward. it was just the first one that came up. i would have liked to be able to tour a couple for comparison. i am still interested in what a foster home would be like.

B: food. we are served a lot of processed, frozen foods. it has to do with our food stamp budget. some of it i think is gross. but its what is served to me. i can cook, but i dont get that option, tho i will be able to cook when i move to my new group home. jane, my caregiver, gets sad or offended when i throw out food i dont like. i dont like hot dogs. i eat them every week.

C: interpersonal relationships. jane, our main caregiver, doesnt get along with one of the residents. it makes me sad and upset sometimes. luckily, they like me.

D: rides. i think the group home is supposed to provide me with transportation to my activities. this happens rarely. it would have a big impact on my quality of life to be able to more spontaneously go out in the community. i have been wanting to go buy a sandwich for 3 weeks. i have paratransit services, but even that is somewhat difficult for me to use.

E: i would like to be able to have some storage that wasnt just everything i own in my room. i make this work tho. moving from a house to a room was hard.

F: i would rather live with family, but they are spread out.

G: access. I have a key to my dads house, and my friends house. i dont have a key to my own house tho.

H: maybe someday i can have my own house.

I: i would like a garden and a cat.

I’ve been looking for a fic where May gets cancer and Peter is sent to a group home. When Tony finds out, he decides to take Peter but for some reason Peter is returned to foster care.

Thank you to those who contributed to our Follower Outreach Program for helping to locate this story!

Losing Home by storyarchitect

When aunt May gets sick, Peter Parker's world gets shattered. With medical bills and May unable to work the family of two is one pay-check away from homelessness. But Peter got it handled. He can work, go to school and be a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. He can even handle Queen's new drug dealers. Or those invisible Hydra agents. Yeah. He has everything handled. Definitely.

Today I found a possible group home for me to move into, and I'm actually hopeful for the first time in a long time.

It is part of a non-profit that specializes in helping people with severe and debilitating mental illnesses like Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder, DID, and other brain injuries. They have apartment style independent living group homes and provide organized social events with 24/7 nurse care, medication management, and meal service.

Now I just wait to hear back about the intake process. My ex-husband (whom I currently still live with) offered to call them tomorrow to get more info as well, which is honestly the best part of all this. Having him actually help is what gives me hope this might actually work out

there are companies that will come to your home and take care of you. group homes and all that jazz aren't a bad idea at all! don't let anyone tell you otherwise! if that's what you feel you need then that's all that matters!

if it helps, i also thought about having a company come in once a week to help me take care of chores since i'm autistic and can't seem to break down chores w/i getting overwhelmed!

i wish you luck! <3

Hi! Thank you anon! I’ve actually looked into things like that and I do think it is going to be something I need in the future, however eventually I will want out of my current home.

I can’t live independently so that’s where assisted living or group homes come in. This is if I don’t decide to move in with my partner by then.

Thank you for the positivity Anon! I really appreciate it. Thank you for your support. Have a lovely day and I hope you get the support you need!
