Assisted living for adult with chronic mental health issues

Roundtrip

Hi,

I have a sibling in their 30s who has a long history of mental health issues. They have been seeing mental health professionals on and off for many years and have had a number of residential stays in psychiatric hospitals. They are on disability allowance and still living with my elderly parents who are less and less able to provide for an adult living with them and of course at some point they will not be around to provide support at all. My sibling doesn't have specific needs that I can easily describe but would not be able to live alone managing their affairs (financial, home upkeep, etc.).

I'm trying to research what assisted-living or sheltered accommodation services may exist for such people, or even services that might be available to recipients of social housing or rent-assisted housing to help them manage their affairs. Most services that I've found appear to cater specifically to adults over 55. Can anyone please suggest some starting points to research what options there might be for younger adults? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

start with local mental health centre and see if https://icsh.ie/ can help

Also enquire about age discrmination and Equality Legislation. I do not know if it applies to housing. There are some social housing developments for mental health patients but i do not know if they are near you.

EDIT. i jus noticed you said assisted living. The mental health apartments i know of are for independent living but there may be some for assisted. ask https://icsh.ie/ what is in your area

Someone on disability is disabled. Disability is one of the grounds under which people cannot be discriminated against.

This is not legal advice
