Hi Stacy,
The whole social work should be done by people that really understand what the real world is like. You will be a great asset to someone looking for help!
With Love,

Well I was literally days away from a nursing home coming from rehab. I had been fighting for housing for months before I knew when I was going to be discharge. I took time to find all the things that I would be eligible for so I could live on my own. I found out how to get rental assistance, Medicaid, but if your on disability you get Medicare and can apply for Medicaid to pick up the difference. I got food stamps, electric assistance, and attendant care. I am barely making it but I am not in a nursing home. Mark worked to get himself out of one and there are a couple of other people on the list that are in nursing homes or there were not that long ago. I don't think they post much. None of use deserve to be in a nursing home. That is partly why that I am going to school for social work. I want to help keep disabled adults out of them.Stacy----- Original Message -----From: dave headmanSent: Sunday, February 27, 2005 2:10 PMSubject: Re: [QUAD-L] anniversarybeen in a nursing home since 99.
around here if you don't have family or money to fill in the void of
coverage the government supplies, you get incarcerated.
