Excuse me but no, they are not resistant in anyway, and why on earth should they feel embarrassed? It's not their fault that they are in the situation they are in. They have nothing to feel ashamed for.
We had mentally disabled people leave the grouphome for this very reason
because they were alloted as much freedom as they wanted, he was able to just up and leave into a situation that was by far worse for him than the home
hell, even everyday things like going out or going to the mall, these individuals do everything they can to appear as though they are not "with" staff, or even act as though they are staff of even more disabled individuals
a noticable lack of autonomy will make anyone resist. I'm sorry, but I've been there sir

group homes provide both of these things
and nobody deserves free post secondary
