Those people are already exempted. Group homes for people who can't live independently do have work placement programs, although I don't know how you prevent them from displacing "real" workers - presumably it's not that much of a problem.
Besides that, just paying people to do nothing works fine because they can do non-economic work (childcare/caretaking) or speculative things (write a book, go back to school) and US policy is heading back in this direction. We stopped with Reagan because voters tend to turn against welfare policies when you point out that black people are getting them.
You’re assuming a system which can easily & correctly identify “exempted” people, the police power of the state being benevolently withheld to allow paying some less. Hardly realistic.
You’re assuming paying people to do nothing will result in “unpaid” productivity greater than their UBI. This is not dominant human nature; all basic needs met, most turn to fighting/copulation/gluttony/drugs/sloth.

I am confident demand is infinite and people will not want to stop working if more basic needs are met[1]. It's the opposite - people don't produce efficiently if they're starving and they can't be matched to better jobs because they don't have the free time to find them.

You seem confused since you're the one arguing poor people are naturally idle and will just get in fights with each other if made less poor! Luckily, I have the normal opinions of a person in 2020 and we can all see through through Reagan's "welfare queens" propaganda at this point. As for the evidence about American voters, you should see the people they elect, but also David Shor[2].
