Is It Ok To Put The Person With Down Syndrome In A Group Of Home Residency Where They Are Trained ?
hello---I have a 32 year old ,down syndrome son on peritoneal dialysis.- which I do for him presently for the past 2 years-he has been approved for a group home residency-where an approximate 10 people will be trained to do the exchanges--because of the working shifts of the staff--this is the best they can arrange. is this a really bad idea?? (considering risks of peritonitis)--should I go along with this plan?--or forgo this slot.--thanks so much

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
I think, due to such medical complication, it is good to get him trained at home. With this, chances of infection would decrease, but external exposure is also important in his case. You can take him out of home during weekend for some special class. It would teach him, how to interact with another people outside home, that he would not learn at home.
thanks
