Care home trying to stop me moving into supported living.

Post Reply New Topic

The place i am living at is turning into supported living but they say that i would be moving even tho i was told before i moved here that i would be able to.
They say that my behavior (Ripping signs of walls an hitting staff) is not good enough and talk about independence levels.
And the horrible thing is that social services don't seam too interested in it even tho it would save money.

The thing is i do pay around £100 per week towards costs and i do not feel like i am getting any say in what is happing,


The thing is that i want to lower the cost to the tax payer but i do not feel like i am really given the chance.


And don't start me on the £24.90 left per week how little that is too help in getting training and getting a job (As even buses around here would eat that up in one).

And i am trying to find if they is any help from job centre plus but they are 9.5 miles away.

What should i do?

I'll be frank with you, you have SEVERE anger problems and should not be left alone or allowed to be with the general population untill you get it under control.

Hitting people and tearing things off walls is in no way appropriate behavior, I suggest you think long and hard to WHY you are in a care home and work on fixing yourself before you plan on going anywhere.

Don't worry too much about the cost to the tax payer. If you do want to go down that route, how much would it cost the tax payer if you were in supported living and hospitalised yourself when you were unsupervised? Much, much more.

You need to walk before you run. Give yourself a couple of years in a care home, then look at supported living when you've learned some important skills. From your posts on here, it doesn't look like you're ready quite yet.

Why would i be hospitalized?

I would try and get another referral done first as an assessment can measure your needs of a matched criteria, whether you can live in supported housing or not, is not a question I can answer but perhaps a carer would answer it for you.
There are a lot of changes to our welfare system at the moment, and when I mean 'big' there are big shakeups all over the place. I don't want to say for certain, but if you are already in the support group of ESA, then you may have to look at whether or not you are capable to work on what a low wage could get you.
Going back to the living independently task, if that was an option, maybe someone you know could be your home carer and claim carers allowance..on your behalf.

You need to get more advice, contact Shaw Trust or fill out another medical questionnaire with help if you wish, and good luck.
