Have you checked into community based services for the disabled? It looks like in IL the program is run out of the Health and Family Services Dept. Being on Medicaid and your level of impairment should qualify you. In Texas the workers for the agency assess the level of disability and determine how much care is needed - which can vary from one day a week assistance to full time. This program keeps a lot of people in their homes and independent.
