Re: [QUAD-L] how do i get out of here?
I had problems finding housing, care, etc.. when I was coming out of
rehab. I wrote the papers and was on the news as well. Some calls
came to the rehab center from regular people with ideas. I got really
lucky. A local man that owns a hotel here modified a house for me.
If you are not getting responses by letters then call them. A lot of our
state reps have social workers on their staff. Keep pushing at
them. Let them know how your life is on hold in a nursing home and what
you can be accomplishing if you weren't where you are. Be loud and make
lots of noise. Trust me, it works. Keep me
updated please. I would love to know how you are progressing I'm
sue in time things will work out for the best.

Subject: [QUAD-L] how do i get out of
here?
right now i am stuck in a nursing home in new
jersey.
i contacted the statewide independant living council.
they
inturn assigned me a community choice counselor from
the office of long
term care options.
the counselor has absolutely no clue
of what programs are availble for me
to get into alternative living
situation that's not so restrictive.
i'm on a vent while i sleep, so
everywhere i turn everyone
thinks i need icu level care... i lived on my
own for years
with very little skilled nursing care.
i contacted state
and local government represenitives, with
no replies.
my brother
thinks just because i'm not being abused that this
place is ok, it
ain't.
i have completely run out of options.
please anyone with any
ideas?
thanks-
