I was within rolling distance of AZ State University, and I got my degree from there. I lived alone in the small apartment but had caregivers that came in the morning and at night [and were a phone call away if I needed them during the day.] I also developed a network of friends that were willing to help me. Once I got a degree and found a job I was able to purchase a townhome in Tempe, and one of my friends became a live-in caregiver. My caregiver gets paid by AZ Long-Terms Care, which is under our state's Medicaid programs called Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System [AHCCCS.] We have a program here in AZ called "Freedom to Work" which allows me to work full time and still receive my Medicaid, while only paying a small premium (I pay $30/month.) It's a great program. So, I have a live-in caregiver, my own accessible home, and everything works out prety well. Don Price c5-6 Tempe, AZ
