Isn’t your child assigned a social service worker? My sister has Down’s Syndrome and shortly after she turned 19 or 20 the state began checking up on her every year. The worker will ask both my parents and my sister what they want. They always ask if she would like to move out. They will help find a suitable home for the young adult. I would ask other parents what the group homes are like. I have worked at some that are great and some that are horrible places. It all depends on the workers. Good luck I know this is a difficult decision.
