I worked for a facility like this for 9 years. It was rewarding work but hard work. What this video doesnt show.... the massive behaviors they have when the smallest thing doesnt go their way, the low hourly wage, the staff being hit during tantrums, staff being lazy while other staff do EVERYTHING...

they are a hell of a lot more caring, kind, sweet and compassionate than a lot of the bullies on here. I worked with disabled people before.

I have Asperger Syndrome and I personally hate group homes, but this one isn't as bad as most. Living in a group home and getting to leave the house on your own isn't bad but it isn't great having to be with staff at home all the time. I'd never move to a group home but would be happy to at least get to leave the house anytime I wanted to and not be forced to accept help. At least this one is not like a prison. I'm still going to be living independently in my own apartment and then my future house though.

Remember that developmental disabilities doesn't automatically mean unintelligent or unaware of how others treat you differently. Always try to never infantalise anyone, no matter what their differences are. Treat them as you would an adult who simply needs more support than most without being patronising or condescending. Those most severely affected by anything might genuinely enjoy being coddled a bit but this probably doesn't apply to most and I think it probably takes intelligent and socially aware carers to recognise this and treat each disabled person as an individual with the appropriate level of support according to what their needs are. I'm highly intelligent but also have mild to moderately severe learning difficulties as well as classic autism so I know very well what I'm talking about, especially from having been bullied or socially excluded in some way, patronised, overprotected and infantalised my whole life, which nearly completely destroyed me mentally.

@@aussiefurbymogwaifan6621 I agree. I have autism spectrum disorders and group homes are my worst nightmares. There's no such thing as a luxury life or home for adults with disabilities. They're basically prisons with regiments of forced fun, forced friendships, group activities, group outings, and austere safety. There's no adulting, working, or independent living which is key to adulthood. I'd rather die than move to a place like this. That's why I don't want to be thought of as "special" because special people get isolated, disrespected, overprotected and confined.

I used to have a part time job as a caretaker at a group home in Sweden when I went to university in the early 2000's. The group homes in Sweden are usually run by the municipalities, and the layout is a bit different compared to what I see here. The common areas are smaller, but the "rooms" are more like small two-bedroom flats with showers/toilets and kitchenettes. It can be a fun job, depending on the amount of help every resident needs. The place where I worked at had no residents in wheelchairs, so it wasen't physicly demanding, and no resident needed watching over 24/7, so we were allowed to sleep in the staff bedroom when we did our night shift.

Thank you for the tour! Everyone looks very happy! 🦋💛🥰

The folks who run these homes are the soul of humanity

@preservethe80s62

Charity begins at home. Why not dig a little deeper and personally donate funds toward social services? If you truly care, then why get upset if someone isn't giving their "equal share", as is the tone of your question? There are plenty of ways to organize and achieve charitable goals without forcing everyone to put out for them. In a perfect world, all who could help would, but our world is far from perfect. Taking larger portions of people's money and creating a disincentive to work hard and succeed never helps. I'm disabled myself and am anything but rich, but I feel the best care and gifts in this world are ones that come voluntarily from the heart rather than those given grudgingly via force. My interactions with many state workers, teachers, and volunteers over the course of my life has cemented that lesson to me. There are those who help because they want to, and there are those who do it for a paycheck or out of fear of punishment. We're better of without the services and funds of the latter two.

Great job guys! I've been the field for 16 years now. Very rewarding!

I'm happy these people are protected. I usually go into ones for old people and mentally ill patients. I used to hang out with a musician who still had an IQ in the 140s but scored poorly on memory and another area due to heavy drug use, which is the route of a musician. I have some language left but have other issues like having a schedule or planning days in the future. I know I'll end up back in a group home at some point, but I want to take care of my cats for a while first. I might end up killed before I can reach safety, but I love my cats. It's a long story.

I've noticed that female brains are much stronger at dealing with trauma and mental illness. I also have to have advocates to do basic things. I don't know why I get the attention I do. People love to make me frown. My doctor walked out on me when I was saying something. He also said something rude to a nurse. That means I can't trust him. Growing up, I didn't have much access to healthcare after 6, so I trusted doctors after the army and have paid dearly for that. Then I was incapacitated for a while after the injury.
