I've name-changed for this as I need to be anonymous for this one. My adult cousin has learning difficulties and ASD. He lives in what I think is called an 'assisted living' arrangement, i.e. without live-in carers but is visited daily by carers. Currently he is stressed out about various topics. I can't quite make out what exactly but among them are that he is unhappy with some of his carers.
If I'm worried about him (and I am) who can I contact for advice? I can't just waltz in and speak to the carers because there appears to be some friction there (whether real or perceived, I cannot tell). Also, how would his care plan work - if there were to be a change in his living arrangements, on what basis would that be decided?
I am sorry to be so vague and to ask such wide-ranging questions but I cannot really give any more details at the moment because a) I'm not really clear what's going on - I just know that something is and b) I've a feeling it may all be a bit sensitive.
If you can advise me on any of these topics, I'd really appreciate that. I am very concerned about him at the moment.
