hi there folks 😎 i have a sister who for the last 20 years has lived in SUPPORTED accommodation BUT in the last 4 months she was moved to a flat ( with support daily ) I was NOT in agreement with this but was OVERULED!!!! since then she stay's in her flat sitting in a couch thats should be in a SKIP RARELY goes out diet is TERRIBLE 3 bottles of coke daily + take aways from what i gather the carers wash dishes / change bedding / tidy up i have spoken to her social worker on MANY occasions and ALWAYS get the same answer we can't make her do it !!!! SURELY for my sisters health they should pore the coke down the drain and FORCE her out for walks / visits what has happened to TOUGH LOVE!!!!! my family have NOTHING to do with her BUT are ready to give me advice i now am not visiting her so OFTEN as arguments and the fact no shower for 2 months and i have a HEART condition and ULTIMATELY she does'nt listen to a word i say or i'l do it tomorrow and tomorrow is i NEVER said that 😂

WHAT is your QUESTION???

ProfoundlyPeculiarAndWeird · 05/09/2025 10:28

Does your sister prefer the new accommodation or the old set up?
Does she value the greater autonomy that she now has, or does she feel afraid of it?
What level of mental capacity does she have -- enough for it to be appropriate that her choices are respected?
