That’s a very different scenario than what you initially stated.

It is? I said the family is looking for a residential placement bc they don’t feel like it’s safe to continue to have him living at home.

Yes, they want long term residential care ultimately. Thank you for the referral.

It doesn’t really matter I just want to direct you the right place. If you think they need long term residential care start with MI. If you want long term care but want to keep him at home then there are other routes I’d probably take but intake coordinators at May should be able to help guide them better than an internet stranger.

That place has decades of experience, they could handle the moderate level outbursts/aggression, they have multiple locations, and could fit the long term residential care piece they are looking for. If it doesn’t work out let me know I’ll try to come up with something better but I think it’s a solid starting place.

Do they use or have a history of using aversive “therapy” there?

Maybe a group home due to his age?

He needs a prescribing physician or at least one to consult to see if medication may need to be changed to stabilize him.
Looking at state benefits, Mom needs to get a disability lawyer/ advocate to present his case as an emergency for a full 24/7 Medicaid Waivet slot. This funding ought to help Mom
find a placement in a residential group home placement in his state if it exists? If not then
to use it for in/home staffing with the family
Providing some additional incentives. No place needs to keep a person iewed as a danger to others.

I really hate responses like this. I’m referring to the last part where you say “no place has to keep a person viewed as a danger to others”. Yet, the mom has to continue being beat up and kept in harms way because she is the mom. This is a 20 year old adult man who could seriously hurt her.
