Isn’t life difficult enough?
 

If you have ever had a person you had to care for, a child, a parent, you know it’s not always easy. There are lots of appointments, there are lots of forms to fill out, many things to prove. There are not enough resources for people with disabil. There are not enough living situations for them. Also you know in your heart that no one will live and care for your loved as much or as well as you do. We try hard to give our family member the best possible life and expose them to normal situations. 
so, why make it more difficult when most of us are just doing the best we can for our loved ones. 
No one loves your family member like you do, no one will be so conscientious about the care or what happens to them. And we are much less expensive to employ than a group home or other environment.

please look at the whole picture and consider the entire family.

Thank you
