Support Chloe’s Challenge

After years of therapy and challenging behaviors, we struggled with the decision to place Chloe in a group home. It is the best decision we did for Chloe and our family.

The home serves four other young women like Chloe and is located 20 minutes away. While we had anticipated placing Chloe in a group home later in life, our behavior staff felt the timing was right and Chloe needed to work on independent skills.

As her Mom, this was the most difficult and tearful decision I have ever made.

The group home staff has been supportive.  We say, “New Environment.  New Chloe.”  She eats nearly independently with a fork rather than throwing her food and eating with her hands.  Chloe has her own room and receives assistance with dressing, showering and daily living skills.
