I know one of their group homes run by kemetic behavioral health norfolk va clients is a ward of Jewish Family Services.  they only have one small group home.  It would be interesting to know if Jewish Family Services is doing a poor job of acting as client and not signing documents in timely manner.  It is very sad the way the system works and takes loved ones away from family and friends then takes the consumers small SSI check to pay for guardianship services (at least the rep payee part)  From our understanding a local city is paying them for the rest of the guardianship part.  It is even more upsetting a paid agency is doing a poorer job then a private guardian would be allowed to do.   Maybe that is more of a problem.  Maybe giving agencies more time to deal with government paid guardians isn't the answer; maybe letting people have people who give a crap control their lives would be a better idea.  Isn't that what the Olmstead Settlement was supposed to be about?
