Hello, I am new to the forum. I care for my adult son age 26 who has ASD & ADHD and lives with me. I would like to know how/where I can find information on supported/independent living for him. How easy or difficult is it to organise? Are there long waiting lists? Is it expensive? We currently live in rural Wales but are considering a move to a city in England with a better infrastructure etc. Thank you.
My son moved into SL a few years ago, against my wishes, as i was recovering from cancer surgery. He had been living in a residential home, which was lovely, but then the management changed and it was a nightmare. if you are moving from Wales to England, that might create additional hurdles!
Start by arranging for your son to have an updated Needs Assessment, looking at the help he would need if you were not providing any care at all.
