[quote=Anonymous]My adult brother has DS. All the money we have set aside for him is in a trust so he's still "poor" in the state's eyes and eligible for benefits. He lives in a group home. The story PP referred to was a couple, I think both had DS, living in Bethesda. He works at the Giant on Arlington Road -- go there in the day and you may see him. Since they were both in the same county, they worked out a plan with their providers where they live together in an apartment, but a caregiver comes by at dinner time to help with meal preparation. It all depends on the functional level of the person of course. My brother can pour himself something to drink and that's about it. Would have no clue what to do in a fire so that's why he needs 24/7 supervision. [/quote]
