Freedom Means a Good Life

Tim used to live in a group home. He had no friends, no choice and his life was full of rules. Tim felt sad and said it was like living in a prison! In this podcast you’ll meet Tim, his mum Sandy and Tim’s support worker. They describe the difficulties of group home living and how, during a stay with his family during COVID, a vision and plan was created for Tim to live in his own home. Tim’s life has turned around. With the right supports, he is now a member of a community garden, exercises in the park, invites his family over for dinner, enjoys shopping and cooking, is a pet owner and enjoys the freedom to live a good life in his own home.
