Middle age couple wanting to relocate to cyprus with a Downs Syndrome male

[anfidel]

Hello,
We are a middle aged couple who would like to relocate to Cyprus . We have a Downs Syndrome Brother/brother in law who would need to come along with us . There are a number of questions but mainly are there any provisions for this situation i.e daycare , groups with learning disabilities that meet up , or any form of possible employment that he may be able to do. He is 52 yrs of age , any advice with this unusual situation would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there, We have an adult Downs SYndrome daughter and we spend a fair bit of the year in Cyprus. I would say that the services are virtually nonexsistant. Work opportunities nil and groups (what groups)!!!! Handicapped folk tend to be looked after within the extended family system. Sorry we could not be more positive, but we woiuld never move to Cyprus full time with our daughter although we love the Island
