I have seen first-hand the work that is done in a group home. The clients that are being cared for are very challenging. The staff give their all to better the lives of these wonderful people. This is not a job that is left at work once they clock out.. Staff think of their clients, worry about them and pray for them. The staff needs to be taken care of as well. They work long hours, give up family time and should be rewarded for what they do. They offer the same care as a nursing home facility. In many cases they go above and beyond the care they offer. The staff deserve this. Everyone needs to be taken care of in some way to better themselves. Helping to better situations for staff means happy employees. Happy employees are an asset.

As a special-education teacher in the high school, I see the importance of proper support services for people with developmental cognitive delay. The support services are integral to their quality of life. Proper staff and support persosnel are vital to run programs that will enhance individuals with disabilities. The cost would increase at the state if these people would not have quality supervision in a work setting during the day. You would need to come up with more funding to have individuals support clients at home. People with disabilities enhance the community when they are able to go to a workplace with proper support. Please increase funding so people with disabilities will continue to have quality support.

This shouldn't be taken away from them. What would that do to them? In my opinion you're telling them they have no self worth.

It is a wonderful place for our clients to go on a daily basis. They get to interact with others, have a job that they are proud of, earn a paycheck and do fantastic group activities which they otherwise wouldn't if it weren't for the DAC. To name a few... Bowling, swimming, trips to the circus among many other activities. It is a wonderful place and the employees who work with them love each and everyone with their whole heart. Each client has their own unique personality and the DAC makes SURE they have activities available for each client to participate in according to their needs. This is a special place and home away from home for them. Please keep the funding available so this amazing group of people can enjoy life and always look forward to tomorrow.
