[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“I am more concerned with physical violence between students at the schools” -Dawn Ludke [/quote] Unbelievable. She couldn’t care less about the students or the voters who live Nextdoor. This county council lacks commonsense and prioritizes developers/businesses (like this Florida-based business) over residents and kids. [/quote] An addiction facility prioritizes the community. You don't think we have addicts right here? They are much more likely to hurt people while actively using. Give them a chance to heal in a skilled facility. And yeah, I agree with Dawn. The violence against kids in schools is a much bigger issue than a 16 bed facility. But I guess that doesn't (yet?) affect your home values the way you think this facility will. [/quote] Greenwood is a sweet little school in a small neighborhood. There’s no violence happening among the students. The Florida-based business isn’t entitled to turn a profit by running a large scale facility next to a school. They can put it somewhere else…like two minutes up the road on farmland. [/quote] All of health care makes a profit in this county. [/quote] And how many large residential healthcare facilities are in SFHs in residential neighborhoods? [/quote] At least a few, I'm sure there are others that are more private and not widely advertised. https://thevalleydmv.com/ mountainmanor.org Lawrence Rehab Center: 1 Lawrence Ct. Rockville [/quote] There are group homes all around the county for people with disabilities as well as for people who are aging and unable to live alone. Most of us probably have them in our neighborhood and don’t know it. The issue of finding a location for these type of facilities is a real problem. We can’t really think it’s possible to send everyone who needs group homes type related care and services to another county or state. [/quote] Group homes are different from residential treatment facilities requiring 24/7 medical personnel. [/quote]
