We have just learned that daughter has cerebral palsy. She is 33.

Hello Richard,
We are looking for some advice and conversation about our daughter who we only recently have come to understand has had cerebral palsy all her life.
She is in a care home and has rapidly deteriorated over the past three months. Is there someone we can talk to for help and advice about where we go from here?

I will tag @Richard_Scope whi may be able to offer further advice
It is rare but not unheard of for somebody to be diagnosed at 33 years old. What are your daughter's other impairments or disabilities? I'm interested to know how the cerebral palsy diagnosis was made?
Is her current care home using the potential diagnosis of cerebral palsy as a reason for her to leave?
