Residential care for a 20 yr old

milley28

My son is 20 next yr and wants to move out, I agree this is the best option for him. He wants a residential setting . Where do I begin to find a residential setting for young adults who will cater to his needs? We dont mind where it is but I'm guessing it could be a lengthy process and want to get the ball rolling ready for july 2022 as this is when he wants to leave. Not really getting any support from his adult social worker. Any advice??

Hi and welcome to the community 

I would have suggested social services but you don't seem to be getting any advice from them 

I think you will have to do your own research look for list of residential homes and then check their website 

Your gp maybe able to advise or cab

Hi @milley28  

How are you getting on? I'm sorry that we couldn't offer anymore advice or support with regards to your question. Have you managed to progress at all with finding out about residential homes for your son?

We would really love an update from yourself about the situation
