Would you move to a group home?

[Naarai]

No Chance. Over my Dead Body. Lived in supported housing when i was 19, and had to put up with the usual crap of your food being stolen, no one doing the cleaning, and filth like beard hair in the shared bath. One bloke, broke the lock off the phone, and ran up a bill phoning sex lines. And they had the bloody cheek to expect the rest of us to pay for it.

Ive done 15 years, thank you of living in crappy accomodation - and now i got my council flat owned by my sister, i want some peace now i turn 50 this year.

Im arsed if im gonna let some poxy support worker manage my money either.

I wouldn’t live in a group home if I could help it because the group homes in the States are run down and I wouldn’t qualify anyway.

British group homes everything is paid from the government,

No, I wouldn’t qualify to live in a group home. I can work full-time.

@Wave , what does it take to qualify?

[Wave]

Well I belong to a mental illness charity group and according to their rules I don’t qualify to live in one of their group homes that they own.

One has to have recently been admitted to one of the state run psychiatric hospitals in my state.

But don’t worry @LilyoftheValley there are different rules according to each state and organization

It could be different in your case

I used to live in a group home. Im too asocial for it now. But someday, when im older, and my family is gone, i would if i had too.

I stayed in a group home very briefly after I was first DXed. It was unpleasant, but I have always been very independent.

When my husband goes I will have to. I was in state psych hospitals in the past, and I don’t want to end up there again. So I believe a group home would be the only option for me. I worry quite often about what will happen to me if my husband goes before I do.
