Tragic Group Home Mistake No Parent Should Face

Imagine trusting a group home with your child’s care, only to lose them to a preventable medication error. That’s what happened to Katie, a 21-year-old with disabilities, after untrained staff mishandled her meds—despite her mom’s detailed instructions. Turns out, NJ group homes aren’t required to have nurses or certified medication aides, and this isn’t a one-off: over 1,600 med errors in 5 years! Now, there’s a push for a law to require real medical oversight. Families deserve better than this. #DisabilityRights #GroupHomeSafety #JusticeForKatie #Health
