An idea...
I'm
in Illinois where services for developmentally disabled adults are the
WORST in the legal United States... thinking about finding a few other
struggling sibs or moms or dads who work full time and swapping/grouping our
"kids" into a kind of "care pool". Monday all 5 are at my house, tues they
are at Sally's, Weds they are at Mark's, thurs they are at Jack's, and
Friday they are at Mary's. This allows 5 families to keep their jobs,
and have free or very limited cost care for their adult with DD. I'm
thinking my job would be ok with me working 4 10 hour days, and I'm
hoping other jobs will be flexible with their employees too. I'd like to limit this to adults, since I drive by at least 20 preschools a day, where parents of young kids have their flexibility of choice, but I'm finding adult care very hard to find that is appropriate without boring Jake, or having him lost in "old people land".
Anyone have
any input as to whether they think this would work?
