How do families in the Philippines find 24/7 residential care for adults with Level 3 autism?
Problem/Goal:
We are looking for a facility in the Philippines that can provide full-time (24/7) residential care for a 23-year-old male with Level 3 autism, or guidance on realistic long-term setups for this situation.
Context:
- Adult case (not a child)
- Requires constant supervision
- Has behavioral challenges that have already caused significant distress to people and property
- We are preparing for a long-term setup involving caregivers and possibly relocating him to a controlled environment with elderly parents
- Budget is around ₱60k–₱70k/month
- Prefer locations within or near Metro Manila, but open to nearby provinces
Previous Attempts:
- Looked into therapy centers, but most only offer day programs and are focused on children
- Researched organizations, but very few offer true residential care for adults
- Currently exploring a hybrid setup (caregivers + private residence) as a fallback
Looking for:
- Actual facilities or institutions that can handle high-support adult cases
- Referrals to lesser-known care homes or private setups
- Experiences from families managing similar situations
- Honest insight on what is realistically doable in the Philippines
Any leads or direction would help.
