Our interview with Dana Hooper, executive director of Life Services Alternatives, continues. In #16 we address pros and cons of group homes, the importance of choice, and how being treated with respect and dignity can literally be a matter of life or death. Dana gives tips on what to look for when choosing an organization for our loved one and how the process of being placed in a group home works. We conclude with a discussion on long wait lists and what we can do about it.
