It's ashame what was done to this beautiful place. My dad worked in 70s to closing. Forced to state retirement early. I didn't really know what my dad did there til my teenage years. But I had pride that he was working in a place that helped the disabled. Now I have a disabled son and I know that I don't want to send him to a group home I want him with me forever. But as we life is I will not be here forever.Now all these programs and all this confusing things that us parents has to try to figure out. A lot of choices but all incompetent workers it's not about the love of helping a person less capable. It's very stressful in all ways daily living, planning, relationship, financial, and fire plans. This goes for the aging population. Closing down institutions is not the answer. Corruption in the governments. Too much spending on the wrong things. If I am parent and I'm doing most of inquiring and running around finding out what is out there for my son, why a case manager?? To keep paperwork, to show Medicaid is needed and the state keeps providing. I think some of us parents can do that. That money should go into the thing these young adults need to feel the same to have opportunities, to be able to use that money as they can decide. And that self direction program that's BS that to confuse the parents and make us accountable and stressed out.We already know out role especially if if have kept and want to keep our child at home with us.fix something Government
