Very bad experience for my Autistic son and me. He had no choice of
staff who he liked to be with. This is most vital for an Autistic. Staff
are allocated with a client the evening before and this does not work
with an Autistic but he had no choice and he would decline to be with
people that he did not like, hence he would spend days alone with no
contact from staff, in fact, he lived in isolation. The staff that he
did like would leave shortly after they started. Staff turnover is
immense and the key worker system is in my view non-existent. My son was
left to his own devices and without my everyday input, he would have
never have survived in that environment. Many discrepancies with the
level of support and care that my son received. In fact, it was
heartbreaking to witness as a mother and lifelong carer. Even when we
moved him out he had little or no support with packing. The manager and
staff stayed in the main house whilst myself and his new company did the
packing. Restricted views.
