Who do I call to find out what the rules and codes are for a residential Adult Foster Care facility?

February 16th, 2011

I live in Washington and have a next door neighbor that has turned her home in to an Adult Foster care home. She has made some unattractive changes to her home and all of the neighbors are concerned. For example is she allowed to advertise using large block letters on the front of her house? I would like to look in to this and have no idea who I should contact.

What are the options for mentally retarded adult care after 18?

February 16th, 2011

After years of counseling and therapy we were told by our case manager that the best option for my cousin was jail? Providing three meals a day and an unyielding structure. We cannot continue to care for him ourselves but he doesn’t deserve prison. Are there no homes that take mentally retarded adults, particularly an emotionally explosive sometimes violent one?
I know there has to be a place for him somewhere but we’ve been looking for several years now and have found nothing. The violence is usually the issue but it is something that can’t be changed. Can anyone recommend a compassionate place? We had some bad experiences when he was a child so he has been pulled out of several. The problem is, now that he is an adult most of the places that would suit his needs won’t accept him. He is really just a little boy inside, no older than 6 or 7. He has just had the years of a 20 year old.
I suppose I should have been more specific but thank you for the responses. I understand the options available, I am having trouble finding one. Does anyone know of a good place? Has anyone ever placed a family member in a group home? Location isn’t the issue so much as the reputation of the home itself.

Adult Day Care Health Center

June 29th, 2010

This is a short video I made of a story the VCReporter is doing about this health care center that is facing being closed because of budget cuts in California that was proposed by Governor Schwarzenegger. This care center employs some 35 health care professionals and employees. It is one of only three of its kind in Ventura County and services dozens of individuals from the elderly to those with Cerebral Palsy. Advocacy groups and the center are doing what they can to get the funding to keep the facility open, but without the funding this facility will be closed as early as June.
