Friend has a 54 year old sister with developmental disabilities. Parents are experiencing health problems (they are 85 and 87) and sister needs a place to live where she can have group home care. This individual is classified as MMR and has an IQ of 69. She works assembly through Monmouth County Vocational. Too long of a waiting list for public group homes - need info on privately owned group homes.

Ways to move up on the waiting list is to let them know that her parents are too ill to take care of her. Try the board of Disabilites of your county and neighboring counties. I use to work in group homes for about 5 years and I have seen it done many times before.

Call your states Department Of Mental Health (DMH). They should be able to give you a comprehensive listing of private group homes in your state. Give it a try-I guarantee you won't be sorry!
