@@andyo-southpawguitaruk5322 i am so sorry to do this but... *utmost
Wow thats amazing
Bless you all. xx
My adult autistic son is in supported living. He came home for 16 months during covid. His anxiety went through the roof and he was tearful and depressed. His whole life halted suddenly. It was heartbreaking to see him spiral downwards.
Can I ask he was like that when he came home or coz he could not be in care home ? And can I ask how do you know they threat him well if he can’t speak ? I am sorry as a father to an autistic boy I am asking 😢

He’s not in a care home as such. He shares a private house (run by a charity) with two other young learning disabled adults and a permanent live in carer, they have a group of carers that work on a rota system. It’s an excellent provision and he’s very happy indeed. We like to be involved so he comes home every second weekend and we’re in regular contact with the care team with updates. I didn’t say he couldn’t talk but his language skills are limited. His anxieties were caused by the sudden break in his routine which (as you must know) is crucial to a happy lifestyle. He enjoys taking part in archery, judo, a weekly disco, monthly nightclub visits, theatre, cinema, shopping trips etc and generally socialising. It all stopped overnight. His anxiety and tearfulness came as a result.
I wish you well.

It's abuse to keep people locked up when they haven't committed a criminal offence.
Are you slow there all probably under dols or another section and deemed no capacity, also the service has a duty of care to the residents and letting them out during a global pandemic would be against that
People with learning difficulties and autism along with severe mental health issues are more at risk of severe COVID and pneumonia
I live in sheltered housing and I understood why there were restrictions but these young people wont understand why our sheltered housing like everywhere else went into lockdown for two years my mental health is now extremely bad, but strict lockdown was vital where we were as there's people in their nineties and touch wood we've not had any deaths from COVID we havewardebs o but they were ringing round on intercom I went out using a different door if we net in corridor one would stand six foot from other and have a few quick words we were encouraged to wear mask on corridors.
Only one person in laundry at a time which we are still having that rule now soi wash thanks out by hand during week as it's a big
Place.
We've only ever had nine cases of COVID towards end of second lockdownbut noone ended up in hospital as isolation shielding was rigourous, aseven I am prone to infection as I'm on strong mental health meds, so it's nothing to do with sections at the care home it showed you it's due to their proneness for covid

God bless all caregivers 🥰🤗🙏❤️
No, not all of them are nice people. I have been assaulted, neglected and abused by so called, "care" workers. I once woke to a man with LD masturbating on my clothes and the care staff did nothing but lie to the police when I complained about it! The LD care system is abusive and unprofessional and run down! I have hade some pretty nasty things happen to me, all of which was swept under the carpet because they did not want to get investigated! Liars the lot of them. When I hade a kidney stone, I was ignored for 3 whole days and when I urinated blood, I was shunned and ignored by the lady "caring" for me! ) :
wheres the parents?
It is abuse disabled people 😢 I’m sorry
Its not abuse itwas sdvice given to all carehones shfltered housingsensible advice we folliwed as were more at risk of infection it was hard not seeing iyr famalies abdfriends was a big one for ne they had to do this
