I applied for emergency housing with welfare office after shelter asked me to leave because I was using a cane.
(They said I was non ambulatory.)
A social worker came down and told me I need supervision.
They want to put me in an adult care home and send me to adult day care as well.
I have chronic low back and foot pain but can do all ADL's. Just have to walk slowly.
Your advice is welcome.
Do you have funds to be evaluated by a doctor? SWs are not medical people. The doctor can evaluate you so you have a medical opinion. The SW should be able to place you temporarily. Apply for a voucher. If you are over 55 most apartments are set up for easy accessibility. Bars in the tub, things like that. Apply for Medicaid. SSI. Food stamps. If under the age of 62, you maybe able to get SSD then Medicare and Medicaid are automatic. This is the SWs job. She can suggest but she can't force.
