trekster Report post Posted November 8, 2012 You might wish to try MENCAP or the Care Quality Commission. Another option would be providing the care home with things your daughter enjoys doing. A sort of interests list for her. Can you get speech and language therapy for her? How does she communicate her needs? eg could she type what she wishes to do or are the choices overwhelming for her?

JeanneA Report post Posted November 11, 2012 Hi Loopy Lou I can relate to you very much. I had to put my son in a care home last year. I like you feel very isolated, and feel very guilty for having to do this. At the moment my son is very unsettled after going through a lot lately. I really wish he could be at home with me although I know this isn't possible. I agree with what trekster and SP have said. You do need to find if your daughter can be referred for help for various things, it's not good that she's just left in her room every day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
