Growing need for more human services support staff in group homes

- There's dozens of group homes across WNY, and some can have up to 6 to 12 people living there. That means there needs to be at least 2 or more staff members there at all times. And while the demand for group home settings is up, the number of staff members to work there is not.
Pay a decent wage. i worked in 3 group homes and all 3 paid terrible. 2 are no longer in operation, but one "The WIllie Ross Foundation" the worst one i worked in, is still open. I had to sue them for back pay and for stress.
This job sucks. Very low pay and you feel more like a live in maid. Just cooking and cleaning and sometimes the people that live there complain about the food you make them. Pretty much just sit around bored all day and you have to stay overnight and don't get paid for that. Very terrible position
They need to stop paying minimum wage and they will get more staff
I have autism spectrum disorders and I hate group homes. If I lived in a group home I'd be the bad client, the one whom no Direct Support Professional, Case Worker, or Interdisciplinary Team wants to work with. I'd cuss out staff, lock staff in a closet or outside the house, spit water at staff, sneeze on staff when I'm sick, rip up my Individualized Support Plan in front of my Interdisciplinary Team and flush it down the toilet, and run away from home to a place where nobody is smart enough to track me down. But I'd never ever live in a group home despite my possible eligibility.
They don't give a dånm about their customers.
My name is David foster by the way I'm and a grump home I'm looking for a new home grump home because this home sucks
I need go into a group home
One with gloves on the other one is not wearing gloves? How does this make sense.
Build a better group home! 🚂 Thank you for this report.
Who ever invented these places
stop working staff into the ground and paying minimum wage in today's world you can't live off that. And fast-food workers get paid more than direct care workers. I love working in group homes what keeps from going back is not mom friendly hours and the pay is livable.
Worng!!!! It about telling the truth and teaching the right ways about disabities. Lots of staff get angry at clinits. When people dont know how to stick up for themselves,the svrew. You van have 5 staff working at any Organization is they taught clients how to work together not to fix their problems all the time. Go home should be a temporary situation to teach properly before they be ready to take care on that own. My name is Robert Van Dyk. This is how I would call my disabilities
