[QUOTE="chalup, post: 1494351, member: 306126"] Hello and welcome. It sounds to me like you are going about this exactly right. Knowledge is power and self kindness is indeed very important. I am in Canada and spent many years doing residential care for people of all ages with physical and developmental disabilities. It is a huge job to look after someone with complex needs and it sounds like your son is very lucky to have you as his mother. I do not know how these things work in the UK but here the families have 24 hour unrestricted access to family members in care as well as a great deal of input as to how care is provided. I hope the transition goes smoothly for both you and your son. You will find the folks on this forum to be both caring and a fantastic source of information. Keep posting and ask anything you might like. Someone will be along to answer. [/QUOTE]
