What to do...

I am here mentally but my body is rebeling. I know this monster does what it wants without any concern with what is on our "mind". But I am not ready to to assisted living or anything like that. What are you suppose to do?

You could check out a few places just to know what's out there. It might not be as scary as you think. The one I got my uncle into was only 1600 a month nice apartment, all kinds of games, chess checkers puzzles pool tables video game bowling, cards, bingo, dances, music, chapel, exercise equipment, some have pools and hot tubs, even travel programs belonging to network of places all over us and Hawaii. Three meals a day, phone internet, laundry, maid, assistance, professional chefs, desert. It might be technically assisted independent living facility. Example bridge park Seattle was.

If you don't have a family member able or willing to assist you in all of this, can social or senior services in your area provide a caseworker or nurse who could help you? Have you called the MSAA helpline? If not, call MSAA’s Client Services Department at [phone], extension 154. The NMSS in your area may be able to help direct you, too. You can reach them at: 1-800-344-4867.

Sggmcswain , I am truly sorry you are going through all that you are. I pray you find a compassionate person in your area who is able to provide the answers and direction you require. My heart and prayers are with you. 💕

Thank you Tutu for your excellent suggestions. There are many wonderful Assisted Living residential living apartments. Very convenient, and always have someone nearby to help you. It doesn't have to be permanent, just until you're feeling better.
