Please help urgent supported living very worried

[shadysheepie]

My daughter has kind of been rushed into supported living put it like this 3 weeks ago we didnt know now she has a moving in date of 15th of may
only heres my concerns
we have to provide all her equipment bed, bedroom furniture which okay i dont mind
but they have also asked us to provide a tumble dryer, DAB radio, microwave, dvd player for all residents to use
plus my daughter is renting a small single room with hardly any space and being charged £180.00 a week rent the same as people in double rooms

my husband has MND we are on benefits have asked for help providing the items and been turned down

my daughter turned 19 in april has downs syndrome and profound learning problems

i also now feel under immense pressure as my daughter hates the other resident with vengeance, she has wet the bed as well 3 times last week and been really moody

is it normal for supported living to ask for all these items??

Dear Shadysheeple,
This sounds like a very expensive list given the family circumstances you describe, so I’m not surprised you are worried. It may be that there are alternative ways of funding these items, for example the DWP can provide budgeting loans for items such as furniture. However, it sounds like you might feel that it’s not the right place for your daughter, and certainly that she’s unhappy at the idea of moving. I wondered if you would like to speak to our information and advice team to talk through your daughter’s situation and see if we can offer any further help? You can call Mencap Direct on 0808 808 1111.
With best wishes,
Miriam
