[QUAD-L] here's the deal arizona quads...
this is donald again, i currently live in the los angeles area. i'm single and have a live-in caregiver. i'm also unemployed and have been since my injury. i have lived here for most of my 41 years, and the few years i didn't were in bullhead city, az. where i was injured 18 years ago. my folks own the home i'm in now plus the one they live-in in bullhead. i'm thinking about moving to bullhead or phoenix soon because i think calif. will soon start cutting programs due to budget problems. parents could sell this home and buy me another cheaper in az. it has been a pretty good situation so far. i receive ss and ssi for money which is about 900.00 a month. for medical needs i get medicare and medi-cal and pay nothing for dr.'s, meds, and supplies including wheelchairs and repairs. i get what's called "in-home supportive services" that pays any caregiver of my choice 9.00 per hour for 8 hours a day for my care. for 240 hours a month. for housing i get ""section 8 housing" that pays most of my rent and allows me to rent from my folks due to the major renovations to my home. for transportation i do drive and have my own van but also use "access services" which is a service were a van takes you anywhere in so calif. for about 2.00 with a call a day in advance. like i said it's been pretty good here. but if they cut ihss or section 8 or both then not so great. no caregiver and no rent. maybe even medical cuts. so my questions are as follows, would i still get ss and ssi? for medical i'm sure i get medicare but does the state pay for things medicare doesn't? what in-home care program do you have, what's pay, and how many hours do you get? do you have a renters assistance program? and in phoenix do they have any transportation program? i'm looking into the future and trying to make plans before all goes to hell here. thanks for any info. donald
Re: [QUAD-L] is anyone on list living in arizona?
I am the Lori being referred to. We ended up in Tucson because of my
husband's job. Only for them (Raytheon) to move us all the way across the
country and then laying off 400 software engineers after only 8 months of
being here! Good thing we did not buy a house! Since then, Tucson has left
a very bad taste in my husband's mouth and he hates it. He hates the triple
digit hot weather too (while I love it), the snowbirds doubling the
population in the winter months etc. but we are stuck here for the time
being and have been years since June of 2001. My story is too long to even
begin.
I can't add much more than Tod did (and even though we live in the same town
we have not met each other yet!) Except that I have had one helluva time
finding either home health care or a person for extra domestic help in the
afternoons. I have had to hire (in one way or another-via Medicaid or
private) someone in the afternoons for the last 25 1/2 years and this is the
first time in all that time that I have not been able to find anyone since
May! I have tried every church, organization, agency, etc. in the area to
no avail. The last time I called the local Independent living Center who
carries a list of individuals looking for home health work -there were only
two people on the list in a city of now about a million people! This (lack
of help) has been most difficult on my husband.
In my 44 years I have lived in upper New York state (35 years), Northern
Virginia D. C. metro area (18 months -it was awful!) And then we moved
here. I have found that there is no Nirvana for so many of us with
different needs. *We* are also in a Catch-22 because I do not qualify for
the 2 programs that Tod speaks of but we do not have enough money to pay for
further "home health care" for me let alone find someone for light
housekeeping!
I could be wrong but I think that Tod's primary caregiver is his wife and
mine is my husband. All because of circumstance. And nobody is getting
younger as far as the caregivers go (or the spinal cord injured spouse or
relative).
I have also found that one has to actually lives somewhere for at least a
year or two to *know* whether they like it or not. It took a year in
Northern Virginia (DC metro area) to know that that was not the place for
us. It is now considered the Los Angeles of the East and people are very
cold there. If a neighbor of yours had to say hello to you they might fall
over dead. LOL
I know that is not much help but that sums it up! About a year ago or more,
someone else was asking the same question you were about moving here and my
answer was the same.
Merry Christmas wherever you are!

Re: [QUAD-L] apartment conversion
Dear Del, Yea! And first, check to see if you get local and state incentives. Talk to your local mayors office. Some cities let you spread a credit on your property taxes and if you are modifying for a direct medical problem that would make the property available to them you get a federal credit. If the credits exceed a certain portion of your income you may take the credits forward. The inabilty to meet handicapped housing needs in parts of the country can actually earn be profitable to people that help allieviate the problem. Allways check first, because it may be more profitable if your renting to "joe scmoe" who suffers from MS or blindness, etc. God bless you! john --- On Fri, 12/12/08, Del wrote: From: Del Subject: [QUAD-L] apartment conversion To: quad-list@eskimo.com Date: Friday, December 12, 2008, 10:23 AM I have 5 apartments, aprox. 25 yrs. old. 2 three bdr. and 3 two bdr.

Re: Fw: [QUAD-L] Apartments - accessibility - Todd
I may be wrong, but won't your state have an accessibility program that simply pays for these modifications and your problem is getting three independent bids? My landlord, Crazy Larry, thought it was cool to have the state ramp the curb and the front two steps that went in so you could take two steps down,, gone. Unfloodable bathroom? He was tickled to death when I moved in! Any of his expenses were 100% write offs and it was less than $1500. The waiver program people were a big help but don't rely on them to find the place. I did fib a little when I told him the state would make it ultra modern. somehow, they did pay to fix his drain pipes so it the building can't backup water. Try not to start off with "ADA says you got to fix this!" He probably knew what needed fixed when he saw you get out of the van. I do wish you luck on it. Finding a place that needs no alterations just doesn't happen, but you deserve the same right to live anywhere that everyone else has. Ok I can't keep from laughing either. A judge said that! Sometimes it helps to talk to real estate agents about who they think would be a person you can deal with and which one you may want to avoid. How to present your situation in a positive light, etc. I'm fortunate enough to have a brother in law that simply underbids everyone and everyone gets a good deal. As i said before, anything the owners pay out for modifications should be a tax credit for them. It falls under medically related housing modifications. It can be a major credit with rental property, especially if they have a savy tax man that uses the over-time method and spreads a big credit out. My landlord hides here from his wife. I feel like I got lucky. Under the ADA I don't know about gutting an apartment to make it accessible. They say, "reasonable modifications". Really big rental complexes should be expected to have a percentage of properties they have modified for wheelchairs. You could easily argue 4 units out of every hundred should be available to handicapped. And it is on them to perform the work since they get the taxbreak and the upgraded results. I have never heard of a property owner with too many accessable units to rent. Most cities have fewer than 4 units per thousand that are accessable. I know Atlanta runs an incentive program.

Your exactly right on the 1 inch from bottom at lowest point. with the quatro seat, you really should be sure it is locked. I have an aide that sits in it each morning because she knows what it should feel like. Anytime you get up and feel like you are low,, stop and check the roho.The worst thing about them is that I'm only sitting on three shots of air from their pump. A very small air loss can turn a roho into a disaster. As for your bum, get off it now and stay off untill the bruising either fades or your open a sore. Ask your doctor about using oxygen and maybe some hydrocortozone cream (2.5 strength at least) on the area three times a day. It is critical to shorten healing time by fast initial action. If you continue to put preasure on the area it is far more likely to lose more tissue to necrosys, god forbid that you lose any.

Re: Fw: [QUAD-L] Apartments - accessibility - Todd
I would certainly take wheelchair's advice on contacting a local ILC. Although the ADA specifies when a building owner is responsible for making areas accessible, that is just a federally mandated minimum... your state, county or other local municipality may have other additional requirements. I.e. The ADA says 1 of every 25 parking spaces must be accessible and at least 1 out of every 8 accessible spaces must be van accessible. Your city CAN mandate that 1 in 20 must be accessible and ALL van accessible (it's an extreme example but it can be done). Same with apartments... a local municipality CAN say that any building with 10 or more units must have at least 1 accessible unit, regardless of age. It's rare, but not unheard of. As for the curb cut, if it's a city sidewalk, your city is 100% responsible for making that accessible! If it's on the property owner's land it only needs to be accessible IF it's a path of travel to an accessible apartment. It's something everyone should remember... the ADA is a MINIMUM. Know your local requirements. Good luck & Best wishes! --Tod wheelch...@aol.com wrote: > As I suggested earlier. Contact your locally, Federally Funded Center for > Independent Living.

Re: [QUAD-L] is anyone on list living in arizona?
Hi Donald
I'm in Tucson, as is the Lori that Wheelchair mentioned and a guy, AZ Dave, who
I believe is in Phoenix. I moved here in 1990 after being in bed with pnemonia
in PA for a few stints. I methodically tracked weather data for several places
for 2 years and decided Tucson fit my needs. (Phoenix, and Bullhead I suppose,
just showed us a too hot in the summertime).
Re: benefits, if you mean public assitance health benefits, AZ doesn't have
Medicaid. It was a recipient of an "experimental" program in the '80 to let
states rather than Feds regulate their health money for the "poor" or otherwise
uninsured. It called AHCCCS (Pronounced "Access" = AZ Health Care Cost
Containment System) and it has its benefits but I can't think of them at the
moment! You enroll in an HMO-like system and make sure all the doctors you
want to see and all the meds you need are covered. Each is slightly different.
There's a program called ALTCS ("Altecs" = AZ Long Term Care System) for those
with no home health aides who can show a financial need. Sometimes you can
choose an aide from an ad you place --or a friend or family member, just NOT a
spouse-- and have them take the ALTCS classes. Then they can be paid by the
state to provide your daily care.
If you pay private, there's a pretty good network of PWDs near universities
that can lead you to some personal care attendants as well as Independent
Living Centers. Being near ASU (in Tempe) or the UofA (Tucson) means there's
plenty of students looking for work as well as students with disabilities who
can be references for PCAs you might consider hiring.
Of course, hiring college students means realizing their schedules change each
semester, they do like to sleep in at times, and students can be a bit "flaky"
sometimes. As long as you're open to trying things and being flexible, it can
work well.
Hope all that helps!
Best wishes,
--Tod

Re: [QUAD-L] apartment conversion
That is a hard question to answer as most Federal Grant monies are processed thru each state and sometimes there are matching funds. Then you have some separate state grants. Grants are often tough to find and you would require the assistance of you local CIL, depending on your location. Where there are no grants, there may be Credits available.
