If your 20yr friend is disabled, can not take care of his/herself, then a nursing home is where she/he can be cared for. Nursing homes have the stigma that they're just for old people but that is not the case .....many times a young person has had an auto accident, a stroke, or some other serious health reason that sometimes families can't take care of. Nursing home staff are equipped to give this person total care, shelter, food, etc. But all this comes with a price too....Nursing home care is very expensive...and alot of time extended medical benefits through a health insurance policy become exhausted due to the mounting costs of nursing home care!

Absolutely, if she needs care then she should have a proper assessment by Social Services according to her type of illness / disability etc. The Primary Care Trust [ Health Dept}may need to be involved as part of the assessment depending on what her care needs are.
Once assessed a venue should be found which will meet her needs, or else a care package at home may be implemented if she is thought able to remain at home with care.
If the venue does not match her requirements which it sometimes won't due to lack of money, proper facilities, then you can contest this by complaining to Social Services and seeking support from your MP, local councillors etc. Every venue has to show that they can meet a residents requirements as they have 'a duty of care'. At her age she should be referrred to a Young Adults team or Younger Persons Disability team, or something similar. You could ask for the contact No for the agency that oversees Inspection of homes / regulations and speak to them. {csci pronounced seasky}
Any person who is able to make their own decisions is able to have an opinion about where they go. In the event of problems demand an Advocaat to act on her behalf. Hopefully you won't need to go to this extent if people are doing their jobs properly!!.

it depends on why you would like to put her there! if she is disabled in some way then maybe she needs to be somewhere like a nursing home and if an old age home is the only place available where she can be cared for full-time then that is the only choice that you can make to ensure your friends wellbeing.

Ah, I'd say yes, but if she has depression sometimes they will put you there for treatment & rehabilatation, even though I think seeing all those old,sad & lonely people
would make you feel worse, it's ashame that anyone has to end up there

If she is severly handicapped and needs to be taken care of- offically - there are long term care facilities- that usually take any age- also she may be eligible for homecare-D-Rn - worked there
