I talked to her about a week ago. She's still hanging in there, but
things are getting hard for her - or rather, harder. LittleBit
seems to be having some problems, which doesn't help, of course. BB is also
feeling the effects for the Alzheimer's. Finances are very tight, so
figuring out what to do is a worry. She is trying to work
something out
where she can share an apartment with a friend, who is willing to
look
after her. However, she is currently in some sort of subsidized
housing, and she loses the financial help if she has another person
living with her. They need to find a place they can afford between
them, and, of course, moving will be very hard on her, but it looks
as
though it will be necessary.


If a person with a disability needs live in help, the subsidy is not
affected.
A letter from her Dr explaining her needs is needed. The roomate
would not
have
to pay rent which could be considered part of his/her rent. I almost
did
this
but opted for overnight help sleeping on my foldout love seat. Also
there
are
programs that help pay for in home help amount etc., varies from
state to
state. Email me Joy if you want more info.

Unfortunately, BB has already checked out all resources in Alabama,
where she lives, and has run into dead ends everywhere, other than the
help she is already getting. She is all alone there, and while she has
concerned friends, they have their own lives and are not able to do much
more than shop for her and take her to the doctor. Because of her
Alzheimer's, she doesn't feel able to carry on the long, complicated
phone conversations that would be involved in trying to get more help.

Unfotunately programs vary widely from states to state. I'll have Spicey purr
that BB's situation inproves.

I've learned to not sweat the petty things, and not pet the sweaty things.
