I live in Kansas Myron,. I doubt that I would move away from my family, unless it was really a good place to live. My family doesn't do a lot for me physically, but it's nice to have family around and I am on a fixed budget and I get my care through self-directed care so I don't have money to travel back and forth. It is a great idea for those who can afford to do so. I think it would be great to be in a warmer state. We have had a horrible winter in Kansas. I can't imagine the government paying for anything that is that elaborate! They haven't yet and the budget is getting tighter. I sure don't like that last e-mail from adapt to cut care hours, which would put a lot of us in nursing homes for sure. I think you often get more funding when you are going to college? Do a lot of you worry about your future, I sure do. It's hard to find PCA's on the amount of money they give us through self-directed care and it will be even harder as we get older and our needs increase., especially those of us without a significant other. I know that sometimes with a significant other, you get less care and that person may not receive payment for their services. Can anyone address the issue of how, Money follows the person might change anything for those of us on state-funded care will really just provide more persons that need to live independently rather than in the institutional setting? Will it just provide extra money to the states for this?. Will money directed to institutions be used for persons getting independent living instead? I understand what those are saying about their spouses being caregivers and not lovers, just because of the stress and burnout that a lot of caregivers get. That is a another topic it is a remarkable couple that can keep the relationship alive in that respect. They need to write a manual. Sorry I talked about so many different things in one e-mail.
