Re: [TMIC] spouting off
Cheryl, We have a couple of subdivisions in my town that are strictly for people over 55 who want just what you are looking for. They have all the bars for support in bathrooms, wide doorways, 1 floor level, etc.Check into places like that in your town.Also, many condo’s now have handicap-assessable rooms. Let me know if you find anything and good luck.

Why isn't there housing for handicapped people who are not low income? All the handicapped housing is federally subsidized and there are limits to what you can have for an income.My income is too high for one person and leaves me unable to live in any of these types of housing. Why can't there be a set number of apartments that I could pay the full rent myself to live there? Once my house is ready to sell,I don't know where I'll find an apartment to move to with minimal stairs. I know many of you are having a hard time due to lack of money and help,and that I am very lucky,but it is so frustrating. Cheryl
Re: [TMIC] spouting off
When I was in Rochester, I lived in a HUD apt building. (disabled 18+ or 55 +) Tehy did a rate adjustment based on my income -- I paid more. So perhaps such an apartment is available to you. One of the administrators told me I could get an income adjustment /assessment based on medical deductions. I got the doctor to write a letter naming all the things i used as medical necessities as a result of TM: wipes, caths, bags, etc. Thousands of dollars were deducted from my income I save all my receipts, grocery, pharmacy, from wherever stuff related to my condition is purchased. They add up. Re:Taxes: you can deduct for medical expenditures -- you should see a tax advisor. --

Re: [TMIC] spouting off
Candy, I can do laundry since I have a laundry room right off my kitchen. My ex husband mows my lawn and plows the snow. My oldest daughter and her husband are doing my house over so I can sell it;they come here on Sat. or Sun. ,and do some cleaning too.. I just feel that I shouldn't be punished for having a good income from my pension and SS. Housing should be available for me.

I believe that the lmits are WAY TOO LOW! Also, when filing taxes - we are not allowed a special deduction!! Blind people are BUT we have as many, if not more, expenses as a disabled person! I know that financially, I am better off than most disabled BUT I still have a difficult time making ends meet! I need help in doing heavy housekeeping - laundry, cleaning, yard, maintenance - stuff that 5 years ago wasn't a problem but now any one of the chores is a MAJOR undertaking - just 1 load of laundry can take me 3 days! Help doesn't come cheap!! Once again the GREED of the 1% of population is down trotting the other 99%!! SUPPORT THE WALL STREET PROTESTORS!! Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably . And never regret anything that made you smile. Prayers and thoughts for you and yours, Candy K.
