[QUOTE="barneysmom, post: 373583, member: 1872"] Hi Jody, glad you wrote to update. We have home-based services and I thought I would hate it but it has been great. The caseworker doesn't care what the house looks like and I don't clean for her -- just pick up the living room. her only interest is the health of our family. She's not critical and she's a good listener. Just by listening to me in a non-judgmental way, she helped me to prepare myself for the time that gfg17 would be coming home from Residential Treatment Center (RTC) (which is now). Good luck -- let us know how the visit went and how your daughter liked her favorite meal. That was generous of you to make it. She will notice even if she acts like she doesn't. Just be yourself! I blubbered like a baby sometimes, and sometimes vented. Sometimes we just made some encouraging plans for our family. I have a friend who had a case manager at home and she gave me good advice - to bring up issues that are necessary to be talked about that you need help with, as support for you, or as support for easy child. The caseworker can be the key to a lot of services that you may need. [/QUOTE]
