I live with my folks and my brothers (two) come by and help out every morning of everyday. (Basics listed) dressed and placed in chair. One gets here before work and the other comes here from work. At nights they switch off every other night to put me back in bed with my/our Father. My Mother does my personal care. Mondays & Fridays along with setting my up for the night in bed everyday. This has been going on for 11 years and they need a break. Actually, one brother stopped and said no more last week. Now, I do know this has went on too long already with them helping, but I never changed it...now I must. My aide that comes during the day cannot do what my brothers and Father do because of her strength. So, I've looked into getting a male CHHA but out of the only two agencies around me there is none. My only choice I see is an Assisted Living Center and if I go here I don't want it to be here in New Jersey. May I ask you guys/gals for some suggestions? I'd love to head out to Arizona, but I don't know how the state is towards the disabled. It seems popular though. Keith/C4-5/NewJersey PS. Some may know me from years past, but to all including the new Hi. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ See what's free at AOL.com.
