Do Client and Staff Share Blame?

if a disable person runs out of food 2 days before shopping, do you think staff is doing their job?

we have a friend who is developemently disabled, he was in rose wood until 6 years ago. he lives independently, but gets 15 hours of "support" each week. there are many reasons why we think his staff is no good.

For one example he keeps running out of food. at his circle meetings we do bring this up. they always say it is the person choice, so we can't do anything about.

tonight i got an email from our friend for the second week in a row that he has no food. last week i sent him pizza. nobody in his circle is doing anything to change this.

i know our friend is partly to blame, but his staff just says we are just here to do what he wants. we can't do anything that he doesn't want. we always look like the bad guys, for speaking up. I used to be good friends with the boss of this support service. I was "warned" if I kept making noise, she would report me for abusing my services.

Thank You,
Dan
