Staffing was planned based on having everyone in the home being out sometime during the day for daytime work or volunteer activities. "We haven't addressed the fact that people with disabilities will like to retire like the rest of us," explained Sylvia Kloc, executive director of the Arc of Northwest Wayne County. This concern is compounded by longer life spans for individuals with disabilities. For instance, people with Down syndrome are treated more aggressively for heart and swallowing conditions than they were in the past. "Just as we don't always do well with elderly people who don't have disabilities it's magni- fied with people who have disabilities," Kloc said. Complex funding Most group homes that serve developmentally disabled people are under the umbrella of the Detroit Wayne Community Men- tal Health Agency and funding is from Medicaid, as well as state and county tax dollars. They subcontract with a variety of providers with a complex mix of payment structures based on the individuals' needs. Group Home A might get $300,000 a year and Group Home B might get $180,000 a year. The higher paid group home might be able to squeeze out money for more staffing, Begins Wednesday, September 5 ®vhile the other couldn't, Kloc said. "The challenge is where do you Shop now for a great selection of in-season items!* move them?" Kloc said. "The problem with group homes is going to depend on who is operating the group home and where the funding is coming from." Federal legislation prohibits moving a person with a developmental disability into a nursing home unless the person needs nursing home care. Kloc recalls a woman who was living in a 12- person group home in Dearborn, which had limited funding and only a couple of staff people at any given time. Staff couldn't meet the woman's extra needs to address an incontinence problem and they couldn't afford to add staff. The woman's sister called Arc, an advocacy, non-profit organization serving people with mental retardation and related developmental disabilities and their families. Through the maze Women's Sportswear and Designer, :"We try to get people through the maze that often exists (Petites & ciairewood) between them and the services Dresses, Ms. J, Special Sizes tlkey need," Kloc said. "People with developmental disabilities have no resources." The Arc helped in transferring this woman to a four person group home that was funded through Community Living Ser- vices. This kind of situation is <=>xtw*tf»r? tn as the age of the people in group homes rises. The average age of the 83 people involved with the Community Opportunity Center (COC) in Livonia is 45, according to E)enise King, executive director Home Accessories of the agency that serves Livo- nia, Plymouth, Redford and Gar- den City.

"In the future we see many more homes that will need to be opened," King said. Funding changes are under consideration since Magellan Behavioral Health Inc. recently was named to take over the management of Wayne County's mental health programs.
