Jack's Back
Accommodating Jack's disabilities means he's been living hours from home for 8 years. Now, to the delight of his family, he's back in town. Grace Dent follows his homecoming.
When Jack was a baby, he got meningitis, and acquired a brain injury which left him with complex disabilities, and extremely challenging behaviour. With the care he needs so hard to come by, for the last 8 years he's been living in a special facility. The only problem is, it's hours away from his family.
But now, thanks to mum Jo, he's got a place in a special care accommodation block just 10 minutes from their door. For the first time in 8 years Jack is back, and the family are delighted.
Grace Dent follows the story as he settles in, and they get adjust to having him so close, and to being a complete family again.
