As a person with a disability who depends on these types of services, I am especially concerned about how the state of Minnesota will address the shortage of people who work as direct care staff, PCAs, DSPs, etc. I may have the right to choose where I want to live, how I want to be involved in my community, pursue employment opportunities, etc., but all of this becomes mute when I can't even get out of bed in the morning because of staff shortage. I hope, and trust, Minnesota DHS will successfully address these concerns as part of the transition plan.
If a resident wants an opposite sex late night visitors, what if the other residents in the house want it more quiet than what occurs with a late night visitor and also if the other residents want to walk around the house in their pajamas and don't feel comfortable with the opposite sex seeing them in the house?
These are issues many ppl have to navigate, not just ppl with disabilities sharing living space. How do college ppl living in dorms or sharing an apartment navigate these concerns?
