Guest guest Posted August 8, 2006 Report Posted August 8, 2006 Sara, The below is from the site for ’s residential here in IL. Maybe you could talk to an agency and interest them in beginning a FLA. As you can see the agency has numerous services. Louise HYPERLINK " http://glenkirk.org/residential.html " http://glenkirk.org/residential.ht ml Glenkirk Family Living Arrangement (FLA) provides people with disabilities a unique opportunity to join a family and share in a home environment. Residents experience the comfort of a family atmosphere and enjoy the ability to participate in community activities. RE: Jane We are also looking towards an out of home placement for Elie as we are both retired this year and while we have 4 older children, none are in a position where he would be happy and safe. Our hope is for a Life-Sharing placment - sort of adult foster care with oversite by a private agency - not the state. That is our ideal at this point. Group homes have too much staff turnover which is a really big issue for someone with ASD> Sara - Choose to make lemonade, not complain about the lemons. -- No virus found in this incoming message.
