  • Place consumers in certified beds
  • Sell the HSB project

 

Executive Summary

Rent a Shared Room (RASR)

>These are assessments related to Satisfaction with Housing and Living Arrangements.  All of this data was Self-scored (SS) by Keith “Buster” Torkelson MS.  For both Julie Paulino’s and Gloria Shanks Guest Home we would help out promoting their Beds in the community.  The use of Room & Board and Board & Care are tired old terms.  Group Homes also has stigma associated with it.  It is more appropriate to call them all Rent a Shared Rooms (RASRs).  Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) Single Resident Occupancy (SRO) works for some yet many consumers require Renting a Shared Room. 

Oversight

>At Julie Paulino’s the rooms were always kept down to two occupants.  At Shanks’ Guest Home half of the rooms were three persons.  Three persons are too many in one room.  In par with this, no bunk beds should be allowed.  Room & Boards’ differ from Board and Cares in that the former is unlicensed and the latter is licensed.  No entity oversees what goes on in a Room & Board.

How is it Mikel?

In this report we feature MR (Mikel).  For ourselves and others we apply the Transparency Principle. 

 

Transparency Principle

The transparency principle emphasizes openness, honesty, and accessibility of information. It ensures that individuals and organizations are clear and upfront about their actions, decisions, and the data they collect, use, and share. This principle is crucial for building trust, fostering accountability, and enabling informed decision-making.

 

A Favorable Result of Profiling People on Blogger

By sharing our material about our one time Rent a Shared Roommate (RASR), MR, we ultimately reunited him with his family.  What follows next is a message from MR’s mom to Keith Torkelson. 

 

20200102-SAT @ 2:25pm – Mikel’s Mom

 

“Thanks for reaching out, I want so much to let Mikel know that I love him and would like to be a part of his life and recovery. My contact xxx-xxx-xxxx. I am a professional in health care and understand the patient’s confidentiality, but I have been missing him and praying that I could hear from him for nearly eight years. I am glad to know he is still alive.”

 

Case Study

We had high hopes for Mikel as a RASR roommate.  Below is the metadata for our post about him.  Our intent was to point out that he was under and inappropriately served.
