The assisted living is different cost for different kind of living
people. So it would be dependent on your income. But you
should qualify for it under other ways.

It always happens on the eve of a weekend before you can do anything about it. I don't know why that happens, perhaps Murphy's Law?

I just found out late afternoon on Friday that I am on Medicaid, but that conflicts with the denial letter I got several months ago. Now I have to wait throughout the weekend to verify this, so I have been on pins and needles over this.

Understand about shared bathrooms and bedrooms and not having your privacy. I qualified for Section 8 in my county and am living in a county owned building. Could your case manager look into this for you?

I get it about food. I had to go on Meals on Wheels for the last 12 months and my AIC went from 4 to 6.8 and everything is starch so I gained 30 pounds as well. It's not the best food, but it's food and I try not to complain.... much.

Good luck tomorrow in finding out resources for you !!

Meals on Wheels serves horrible food. Most of the time it's food that is dangerous to eat. Corn dogs, hot dogs, and a large hot dog type of thing with sour crout, and foods like that. My doctor said before my stroke that he's concerned about my cholesterol. He was right. Now I'm on Lipitor and aspirin.

I really don't know why they serve us food that is so bad for us. How do they get away with it? I know that it's free, but why junk food. BF

I was told that most assisted living places have two per room. Forget that. My dad was in an assisted living place and he had a room by himself.

I'm starting to hear conflicting stories now. BF

Friend Thank you for posting.
I am fine.
I am so sorry this change is being forced upon you. I wish your family was more supportive of you. It looks like you are isolated and going thru this alone.I am sorry you had a stroke.
((((HUGS))))

I hope you get lucky. Can you ask for veggie burgers? That is what I get. I am so sick of them I don't eat them anymore,

Friend ~ I get the hotdogs and corndogs too, and lots of fried food. But mostly it's all starch. Some food I avoid as I know I will have stomach pain for two days after I consume that particular meal. Now they are serving international food which is highly seasoned which I cannot eat along with soups which are very salty.

I filled out a survey and put all this down. My county uses a catering service, but one would think better qualify food.

Now I understand the term "rubber chicken".
