I believe the Dude is a female and what she is saying is that she needs help with daily living things.If she can get her own place,she needs someone to come help her get to activities,deal with meals and maybe bill paying and stuff.We are all at different functional levels and some need help with basic needs.There are places where someone will come in and help with this stuff but it's cheaper to put people in group homes then hire one on one individual care...the government wants to do what is "cheapist",not what is most convenient for each individual.

oh yeah dude you are going to want to get a roomate or something, cause if you move into the group home they will more than likely take all of it and give you like $20 a month to spend on yerself, do you get to be incontrol of your money?

How old are you, Faith. I think I mistook you for a very young person.

I'd hate to live in a Group Home. I wouldn't be able to be who I truly am.
