I ask Ms O'Neill to send a note in writing to the committee with the specifics and the targets. I am dealing with a couple of cases of people whose absolute desire is not to be in nursing homes. I agree with them that it is not appropriate they should be there. It is going on for years and is totally wrong. It is destroying them mentally. They feel hopeless, that they do not have any future and that nobody really cares. It needs to be a top priority to take people out of those wrong settings and give them some sort of independent living with the necessary supports.
