Almost free

On saturday,had been given some very big news by dad,though he wasn't supposed to say anything.
He and sister had been contacted by the service manager last week and were told about the plans they had for am,because the home and area that live in now is completely unsuitable-am house bound for most days there,and being house bound meant being kept around the torture that was the noise from other residents and selfish support plan breaking staff from morning till night.

The manager has said they are going to reopen the first place had lived in and move am in there until a permenant residential placement can be found-it's a big modern LD/DD institution with lots of green/grassy land around it.
the National Autistic Society Bosses had argued to get that place at the review meeting.

It's the best news have ever been given from them-will be the only one living there,and will have usual staff routine [both council and NAS residential staff]- even though its near the same area as where am already,it's completely different,will not be house bound anymore because it's like it's own private countryside,plus it is more secure so staff probably wont be complaining about am "absconding" as often.

The institution is also the home for all the LD/DD residential managers and service managers,and it still has a respite unit but because it is a big complex it doesn't have the noise would expect.

Am have already been going through the usual expected problems with moving,as had been told a month after moving into current home that would be moved out,do not know when they will find a permenant placement,it could be this year or next year.


Have also found out they're trying to get the motability car adapted [eg,soundproofed ,padded etc] as Motability only ever focus on the physical adaptions such as things to do with driving.
