That windfall was intercepted

Post Reply New Topic

ASS-P, I feel, fears the “being put out to pasture” aspect of care homes. He feels like he would languish in that setting. I feel there must be a way for him to be able to go out and be away from the place sometimes.

Then there are the rules. It’s hard for a long-term homeless person to be in a rules-based place. Though the rules frequently are to his benefit.

Still, it’s much better than being homeless and staying in shelters. And constantly getting your stuff stolen and being treated like crap for being homeless.

Yep. Make sure the place has a shuttle.

If he doesn’t like the rules, he can rant about them here on WP.

If ASS-P has Internet on his phone, even the primitive Obamaphones, he can certainly do research addressing whether a care home place is "certified."

For some reason, I don't sense that a social worker would have placed ASS-P in a non-certified care home. Potentially, that would have caused problems for the social worker.

There are Daniels in the world, certainly. Who take advantage of people who are in a bind.

There are "rules" in these care home places.

Simple rules, mostly.....like you have to make your bed every morning, and clean up after yourself when you make a mess.

You might have to help with the communal cleanup of the care home, too.

I personally do not care if the place I end up in is certified or not. I do not see what difference that would make in my daily living there.

I am not so sure Daniel was a bad guy.

If a place is "certified," this means they are held more accountable for the treatment given to its residents.

This means there is less potential for abuse of residents, because of this accountability.

I don't believe abuse in care homes is rampant----but it does happen.

I would be more concerned about that if I was unable to report abuse.
In my case the minute I started getting abused I would be calling the police.

....I don't feel like going into the Daniel home's faults one .ore time.
Ezra is apparently able to check on places, is confident that he's found a decent one. I guess. and has a caring family behind him.
All of that is good.

If the hospital in San Francisco is going to find a place for ASS-P, that's good. But at the risk of sounding like a stuck record, here is what I have found to be true:

1. There are subsidized housing and wait lists all over Northern California and elsewhere, but in the bigger cities, those wait lists can be 5 to 10 years long. Smaller cities have smaller wait lists, say, 1 to 2 years.

2. There are homeless shelters all over Northern California, and elsewhere, in the bigger cities; in smaller cities, not so much, unless the population is around, say, 10K to 15K.

3. That said, I'd look into moving into a Northern California town of around 10K to 15K that has both a men's shelter and subsidized housing. One that comes to mind is Healdsburg, CA, pop. 11K. They have a men's shelter. Their senior/disabled apartments, Fitch Mountain Terrace, goes for $869/month and their wait list is currently open.

Just my $.02

...This line started because. after I had been hanging around SF wsiting for the promised windfall money to come in, I was told that the Package Boatd, etcetera. had intercepted that money. Noe I am trying to appeal that/do something about it with help from a legal outfit here.
I was mistaken about losing the bed at thr shelter and the possessions I left there. At this. (Aug 15 point I still have both.
