Living alone and being able to talk is one thing, but John my son who had the stroke
was left mute and also a quad. by careful manageing of his funds he gets about 10
hours care a day from 2 different funds and we make up the rest of the money. He is
hoping that if he gets more movements back that in about a year he can go into
independant living with an aide to check on him and feed him. He is also a stomach
tube feed. It depends on which state you live in as to how much money you get. Waiver
doesn't pay any money in Ky but we do get 31 hours respite every 6 months.
