Ini rebuttal to the letter of Kenneth Barries of Christopher Robin, Home to the editor on page 6- of the Free Press, dated June 12, I contond that Mr. Barnes is compringtwo lemions, iLe. Chrstohe Roinand a group hom -bt eng sogregated institutions. Christopher Robin <a lIon) should be compared te an integrated community setting or a family home (which we will, call oranges). This would be'a valid «and relevant comparison. Mr. Barnes, gave a worse scenarlo of $122.67 per day, p r child in 1990 at Christopher Robin, but-neyer compared that amount against the 'monies available te handicapped or multi-haridicapped people in a cemmunity setting or at the person's home. The ainount avaulable'ie $20 to $27 per day,* per persan, moriey meant -te caver food,--shelter, clothing and entertainnient, but not staff salaries. Mr. Barries statos that Iriez Curi and Keith Powell were commenting rresponsibly,-.but the 'government statistics' and statements bear eut that the cost cf caring for handicapped persons is much greateir in, an iristitutionalized setting (such as the lemens, Christopher Robin or, group homes) sometimes two te three ti'mes more than the cost cf care cf the sanie clients in a community home setting (the palatable oranges). >Why write te you cf this?
