well don't feel bad, I just got booted by my agency because I offended 40 some of their workers that refuse to come back to my case? Their office management was a complete nightmare anyway and you can never tell when I had coverage or not! I just happen to hear a name of an agency by word-of-mouth and now have them. It seems their office management is much better and time will only tell how the aides will work out. You signed up with real services or any other state agencies would contact your case manager if you have one. Thank goodness I have a live-in roommate and another good friend for backup. Has anybody ever heard a public partnership program? It's a state-funded program at least in Indiana to pay individuals i.e. family or friends to assist you in non-skilled care. I have been with this program for nearly a year and is absolutely wonderful especially since I don't have that out-of-pocket expenditure. Good luck with your replacement search. My dear friend

I got a question for you, I hope you can help me. I have a home help agency I been with them. Three years today they told me. I have only two weeks left with them I asked them why they told me they could not provide my beads. Anymore, because I am connected to a respirator. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. They told me to find another agency. I caught advocacy. They told me they cannot help me. I told my caseworker about it. She agrees with me that it is not right. What they're doing to me. So I was wondering if you have an idea that you could share with me
