Can you provide me with information on any Group Homes in Southern NJ for Schizophrenic adults. I have a close friend who is 42 years old and lives with his father - who is becomming physically unable to help him. I am hoping to find a group home that will provide help. He does not speak much English. He is Italian and has only lived in this country for two years. He is currently living in Camden COunty NJ. Any information on Group Housing would be a great help. Thank you.

Help..I was the 24/7 caregiver to a 25 year old schizophrenic for the the last 3 months. I was attempting to get him stabilized on meds and life after being virutally homeless for th epast 2 years. He collects SSI and has medicaid/medicare. He stole my vehicle last week and is currently in jail facing several felony charges. I need a secure facilty or group home in Florida that he can be released/sentenced to. this young man is facing several years in prison...and he will never come out of that system. Any feed back regarding a long term facility in Florida would be very help full. Thank you for your consideration. Mike S.

Hi, my name is Jackie. I am a senior in high school and in order to graduate every senior must do a senior project. I am going to do my senior project on schizophrenia and I need a mentor. I must complete 15 hours of field work with a mentor as soon as possible. I would truly appreciate it if you can refer me to anyone if possible. Thank you!

I'm curious if there are any group homes in Eastern New Mexico or West Texas for Schizophrenics. I have a brother with the illness and would like to see him in a home close enough to me to visit him often.

There is a 60 yr old male from my church who I have become friends with who has schizophrania and is mentally challenged. He currently lives alone in a nice apt but I think he needs to be in some sort of group home. His social worker recommended an apt but he used to live close to there and does not like it. (He thinks the last place poisoned his food).
Do you have any idea where I could look for a place for him in the NW Minneapolis, MN suburbs? He is really a sweet man and I want someone to take good care of him. He is a devout Catholic so a Catholic home would be ideal.
Thank you!

Need to find a group home for my brother in Illinois. 36 years old, can't keep a job due to schizophrania. Takes meds, but cannot seem to learn good working habits and social skills that can keep him employed. He has a 90 IQ, so this disqualifies him from all of the state funded homes that I have checked in to. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My 19 year old son, has schizophrenia. He is involved with Young Adult Services. I have been actively involved in my child's care, but am getting nowhere. I have been trying to get him into the ISH program (Intensive Supported Housing) for 5 months now. I can no longer care for him and I don't want to throw him on the streets. He needs housing. His clinician recommended respite care. They expected a schizophrenic person to sleep on a cot in the living room where everyone walks through to access the kitchen and bathroom. My son signed the papers, but did not return to stay there due to his paranoia. I don't want him homeless and lost in the system. I need help and don't know where to turn. His sister and I can no longer tolerate his behavior. It has taken a toll on both of us physically and emotionally. Please give me some answers. I love my son dearly, but there comes a point where you have to save yourself and, in my case, my daughter. Does anyone have any suggestions or know of places in CT where he can live? I look forward to your response asap.
Thank you.

I have a 41 year old son with paranoid schizophrenia that is on insulin for diabetes. He receives social security benefits and lives in a boarding home. There is an MHMR social worker that gives him insulin shots daily but there is no one to make sure that he can get his pills for the schizophrenia. He was hospitalized for the schizoprheia recently because he had been off his meds for over a year. Other than providing him with a telehphone number so that he could make an appointment for mental health services there was no service provided so that he could get to the clinic and get his precriptions for the mental illness. He refuses my assistance in any way. I need information about a group home where all aspects of his health can be addressed. Please help me get information regarding resources for him.

I am looking for facilities in Central Texas for my mother who has schizophrenia. She is in her early 60's. I was told by APS that she has to be in a facility that has to be locked down so to speak. From prior experiences she has a tendency to just walk off. I am looking for some type of assisted living since the docs say she should function fine in one.

Hello
I am writing a fictional story about caring for an adult son with schizophrenia. I believe it's one way to generate more awareness of this disabling disease. Could any of you please share some of your own personal stories with me? As parents we do everything we can to help our children. But there seems to be very little support for this disease. So what happens when your adult children don't take the meds? Do you eventually give up and let them slip away into their own lives? sometimes on the street? I'm curious about that pivotal point where nothing seems to work. And also, do you ever see any signs of the child you used to know and the loving relationship you once shared with your child when they were younger, before being affected by schizophrenia?
Thank you in advance, for providing me some feedback.

schizophrenia is a heartbreaking illness for the patient, patient's family and friends. I am presently helping a family whose 30 year old son is suffering with this illness. He is such a sweet and nice person when he is taking his medication. He could never stay on treatment and often turns on to alcohol. He lives alone though has a lot of family support. Family members are not able to let him stay in their homes because of fear of his sporadic violent behavior especially when he is drunk. Is it possible to declare him incompetent in terms of making decisions for his treatments and medications? Are there assisted living facilities in Broward that will help him? How much financial support will the government provide. This person is not working and is receiving social security check. Right now he is baker acted and hospitalized.
