That windfall was intercepted

He wasn't kicked out of the care home. I think for some people strange as it may seem, they get used to living on the streets or being in prison, and purposely put themselves back there.

He said he was kicked out because somebody ratted on him about something. And that the cleanup person was tired of cleaning up his #2.

...No I was not.
As far as the SRO in SF, which I was kicked out of at the time of the 2016 election, some other tenant took it upon himself to get me kicked out - and he did .
I am very out of touch with the " modern world " of Wal.arttz'(which aren't I. SF)/Amazon, I will kind of think of buying things in terms of the kind of old-fashioned
" hardware stores " that existed on the East Coast of maybh) 30-40 hears ago - I became regularly homers (or homeless-ish) in 1996 or so,and I haven't entirely ridden along with the world's changes since then .

I am talking about the care home. Not the SRO. The care home like the one I will be moving into. He was safe and secure there. But it was too confining too institutional, so he left it to go back to living out on the streets.

...The Patterson group tried to get me to give them my property, sucked massive smontd of money above and beyond the rent I paid (I did not object to paying the agreed-on rent and I paid all of it for the time I was there, I mean they sucked additional money). tried to get me to hand over property of mine to them (and may have stolen important paperwork from me) and left me stranded there almost all of the time - telling me that their town had no.public transportation when in fact it did!! !! ! Setting up a likely situation to be stranded there.

Do you have a guardian, or someone who you can trust to manage your finances? They get paid to withstand the pressure a group home would try and put on you. And they could take you to get your needs for the month.

Also, what about a skilled nursing facility? You must have medicaid/medicare. Pretend to fall out of your wheelchair or something... if you get hospitalized for like three days, you can transition to a nursing home.

Anything like that would result in the guardian or staff robbing him and plotting against him etc as he described above. A thing to keep in mind is there are dozens perhaps even hundreds of threads like this one going back a decade.

...I'm not in a wheelchair
I've been in the hospital a lot. more than O mention jete...they tend to judy day " I'm chronic , and not ogferong'term help. I don't want to be in a nursing home/hospital.
BTE. I rather don't think I made messes that people had to clean up in the toilet in the place O was thrown out of in 2p16 - I had to go back and forth to the bathroom a lot. but Ithink I was clean enough in it
Ihave such bad luck with necessitied in the 2016 place. With only.one plug, I tried to stretch out light by getting a what I think was a camping-out-in-the-back-yard portable lamp that didn"t need a plug from what seemed like a good brand. Eveready I think, fairly expensive I think - and.it was a piece of f****n' junk .
Frankly. what if the people in Patterson. once they had be strsnfef there and had taken my money. and I had no one to visit me ' decided to knock me out with drugs and then molest/rape me ? There, I said it .

Who visits you in shelters and on street? What is going to stop someone from taking your money and or knocking you out and raping you in shelters and out on the street? I never associated living in a home with being stranded. I would feel stranded if I were out on the street. I find the idea of me being put out on the street terrifying.

I expect when I get a room in a care home, I will wake up and eat breakfast. Either what the place is serving or what I have on hand. But most likely what they are serving. Then I will spend time on the internet doing whatever. Then lunch. Then internet. Then dinner. Then internet. Then bed. Hopefully I will be taken for a stroll each day. But that will be pretty much it daily. I plan on having my phone, laptop and small TV. A bed, a desk, a chair, some clothes and toiletries. I can not think of anything else I will need. Maybe a mini- fridge and a microwave.

Oh, I'm sorry. I read in your signature that you had a hard time getting up and just assumed the wheelchair part, my apologies.

I respect that you don't want to be in a nursing home, I hope I didn't distress you by mentioning it. I must confess though, I think for me, I'd rather be in a nursing home than out on the street. Not everyone in a nursing home is gorked out, they make the rounds and visit their friends and talk, etc...

If you can't have your own private house, where would your ideal place to live be? I watched this program once about how small the apartments in China are. They even have small, tube shaped cages on the streets where you can rent the space for the night. You are locked in and safe, nobody can steal your stuff and you leave when it's time to wake up.

I see.

I didn't realize that.

Are 'care homes' real homes, where people allow you to stay in one of their rooms? Or are they a facility? Do they take control of your money away too? Or are they just paid a flat monthly fee for their services? It would make me very uncomfortable to relinquish control of my money. All my mother-in-law did was get old, the workers who came into her home to care for her were always running a scam on her. We had to take her check book away because she would write checks and forget she'd already paid her aid, and they wouldn't tell her either. They just took the extra money. It was horrible. She hated having her money taken away from her, I can't blame her. It was the last little bit of her independence.

I had no idea that the care home places drugged and raped their charges. That's so awful!

...I'm not saying that drugging or raping happens all the time. I supposed not even the majority of times. Still. I suppose it has happened - and given what has happened to me in the past and given their non-true statements on the existence of public transport there and money-ducking and more, my imagination ran to the bad " What if? ".
There was a notorious case in Sacramento in the Eighties where the runner of a boarding home for lonely old men took over their lives - and killed them and secretly buried them and kept receiving their Social Security checks, so...
I tend to be very tired/exausted/back-aching-weight when I go out. now...

...Y j else last days I have been rather tired/weighted down when I go out for the day . I somehow maybe do both too much and too little sleeping when I am in the shelter. ad I am now (if that makes any sense). Then O.leave - and so feel rather stressed in my lower back. and I'm walking in small steps and so gingerly . I did get a budtide for part of the journey to that free lunch (There is no lunch at the shelter but there is dinner - which do get when I"m here - and breakfast, which often I oversleep.), but there's still considerable walking and the thought of...more...hurrying to a schedule to reach there throws me off and if I miss the bus I have to wait, standing. at a corner about 26 minutes. there is nowhere to sit down and wait
This morning the bus arrived and went past me and stopped and left while I was walking slowly along, vrippled .
I was so discouraged that I gave up on going to the free lunch...more...

...gave up on going to the free lunch. Instead, I went to a sandwich shop, and had a sandwich, etc....Gloppy/nice , not real good for you. It occurred to me that liked sitting in a nice, civilized, warm.place - with seats that had a back, supporting my back! Unlike the shelter cafeteria. Whose school lunchroom-type seats absolutely do not support my back at all. and sitting up from and down on has had problems, falling on the floor and asking for help to get up . Now I am.often quite slow when walking around. and get a small distance around when I do try to get ad;-(. The sandwich was nice but I thought that, if I true home/room that I could enter and leave at will. I'd eat some of the sandwich there and take it back to the room and re-heat it and stretch out eating it over a day of two, indulging myself but eating less But I haven't in general had a home like that for many many years .I tend to go around and these last days, with the heat wave here and not much lawn. I go to sidewalk/-type places and try to, taking my jacket off, get some sunlight/Vitamin C?? on my back, lying on jot surfaces to make warm contact on a flat surface to my back to try and make it feel better - But I might get run along by fuzz. I'm maybe not eating as much but I'm drinking lots of liquid in this jot weather, often diet cola so less sugar but maybe lots of water weight .

The kind of care home I have been talking about is a residential home that has been converted to clinic type facility and has a staff of caretakers. A fee is paid to live there the same as a big nursing home or hospice. Contracts are made out to protect both parties.

There have been instances where people have been abused in hospitals, nursing homes, care homes and the like. But it is not like it is a common practice.

If all those dangers were common I would not be seeking to live in a care home.

Also I am currently exchanging PMs with someone who has similar disabilities as me, who is living in a care home and they have not relayed any horror stories to me or warned me of any dangers.

I am sure this person, like me, would much rather live in a care home than be out on the street.
