New page

At the time we spoke, they agreed that [[Josh]] needed an [[ICF]]-level care facility, and the social worker I spoke with seemed optimistic that they might have a place for him. She said that the evaluation team would be meeting today and she would call back to let me know what they said.

Today she called back, and what they said was that they felt they didn't have adequate facilities to serve him, largely because of his "history of running" and I think she also mentioned the violence he still occasionally displays. I asked her who she thought we should be talking to that ''would'' have adequate facilities, and she suggested the Murdoch Center.

This is ironic, because we've already tried them -- and they said Josh [[Murdoch Center|wasn't severe ''enough'']] for them.

I told her that, and she recommended a couple of other places which I am still investigating:
* [[RHA Howell Care Centers, Inc]] in LaGrange, NC, which appears to have no web site (only a [http://nc.serviceslisted.com/4730704-HowellsChildCareCenterCorporateOffice.htm listing] or three)
* [[Ralph Scott Lifeservices, Inc]] in Burlington, whose [http://www.rsli.org/ web site] appears to be down as of this typing (perhaps I should offer them hosting?)

I think what needs to happen is that at the [[2010/02/09|care review meeting]], we need to very pointedly ask what service providers ''would'' be appropriate for Josh, now that we know which ones ''aren't''?

...and then focus our efforts on those.
