[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 638957, member: 1550"] I forgot about waiting lists. True that. My son is currently paying $400 a month for a very comfortable, small one bedroom apartment that he likes very much. He can afford it, but it doesn't leave much extra. He is on a waiting list to be admitted to a really nice apartment complex for developmentally disabled adults of all ages and he already knows some people living there. It would be only 30% of his income, which would be considerably less and all his utilities would be covered. He has been first on the waiting list for over a year. There aren't many apartments and somebody has to leave before he can go. Sometimes there are longer waiting lists too so it's good to get your child on a waiting list ASAP. Also, some assisted living apartments do not tolerate behavioral problems. They all do have rules. My son is very compliant and laid back, but I can see where it would be harder to have found him a future safe forever place if he had had behavioral issues or did drugs or partied, etc. You may have to look around and help the people who can help you. That's what we did, with son in tow. [/QUOTE]
