When the girl said "SOMETIMES", why didn't they LISTEN TO HER "SOMETIMES"AND TAKE HER CONCERNS SERIOUSLY??!!! IF SHE HAS COMPLAINTS, THEN THESE COMPLAINTS SHOULD BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY INSTEAD OF BEING SWEPT UNDER THE RUG.

28 and still live in a care home, not fun I'd rather live in a normal home, but haven't decided where to move and so on and on

I wish I’d know about Vista when my son was younger. He has aspergers and living on his own but floundering. His job isn’t giving him any hours to work lately and he isn’t getting his housework done before his Dad arrives. I pay his bills for him from his social security check. Do you know of any homes like Vista in New York State?
