( I know this might not all apply to you
but if a Reader were to come across this, they would
get the generalized idea and information beforehand )
Rules, Regulations, Restrictions, etc,
varies from State to State, Location to
Location, Facility to Facility.
There are many types: Quote :
1) Non-Profit
2) For-Profit
3) Private - not funded by Grant
4) Private - funded by Grants
5) Public Housing Authorities by County
6) Public Housing Authorities by State
7) Public Housing Authorities by State funded by Federal Government
| Some or All may be available. They can
range from a Private Large House to a Duplex Type
Locations to Apartment / Condo styled to individualized
traditional Public Housing Units.
And It ALL depends on the such said above,
the Rules, Regulations, Restrictions, etc ...
If the person who is not disabled is a "Caretaker",
it "may be" permitted - but may not be if it is an
"assisted living facility", for an example.
You would have to do your homework, and do
a lot of it! There are many out there, and I have
to warn you upfront... there are many that have
very long waiting lists if you haven't applied for
one! Some individuals have been known to wait
3-5 years or longer before they ever could plant
their feet into one. In some areas, some have
limitations of how long you can "reside" in such
place; and there are places for those who are
"permanently handicapped" which have special
exemptions and different type of rules, regulations,
etc ...
Some places will require tons of paperwork where
you would feel like you would have to sign everything
in blood! Some places will go so far as to denominate
everything that you have - from Bank Account to
Physician(s) and control it all! Some places you are
required to have a Case Worker, Case Manager,
Social Worker, Complex Manger, etc - and you have
to meet with those individuals at appointed times
and failure to do so would result you being given the
"boot out the door"! Some places do not accept
"medically needy" because they are not designed
or specialized to handle such, so do not waste your
time arguing with them or slam ADA Law on them,
because they do comply with ADA - they have their
own places for "medically needy" - you just have to
be redirected to the correct place to apply there or
work with them there.
I know I've said a mouthful - but it's something
to look into. |
