Probably. Here in New Mexico we have an agency called protective Services. You might try local Mental Health office.

You could also ask at your local school.   Although they are children not adults, they have to deal with the same problems.   My local school has a SENCO who deals with children with disabilities.  There should be one at your local primary or senior school who may be able to give you some more pointers - after all, they must go to outside agencies for help at times!\n\nOf course, you could also try organisations set up to help people with disabilities and other problems\n\nGood luck with your assignment.\n\nOh, and if you find any of the answers useful, please do not forget to include Yahoo! in your sources!!!!   If nothing else, it shows initiative!

This is a Long-Term Care issue.  You need LTC if you need assistance with 2 of the 6 Activities of Daily Living for a period of 90 days or more, or if you suffer from an organic brain impairment, like Alzheimers disease.  ADL's are: dressing, bathing, continence, transferring, toileting and eating.\n\nIf he had LTC insurance, the insurance would pay for ALL of this and preserve his assets.\n\nI was going to suggest Long Term Care insurance, but because of the Alzheimer's he wouldn't qualify.  People should buy LTC insurance when they are HEALTHY.\n\nPresident Bush signed the Deficit Reduction Act last year.  Now if you have more than $2,000 in savings or investments, you don't qualify for government assistance for LTC. If he has 40k in the bank, he doesn't qualify for government assistance which is basically welfare.\n\nIf he gifts the money away, because of the Deficit Reduction Act, he will have to wait 5 years before he qualifies for government help.\n\nHe is on his own.\n\nI suggest talking to a Reverse Mortgage professional and getting money out of the house.  The only drawback to a reverse mortgage is when he dies, his heirs will have to pay the money back.\n\nUnfortunately by the time most people find out about this new law its too late for them.  A lot of us are going to experience this situation with our aging parents and grandparents.\n\nWhile people were busy arguing about immigration and all the other B.S., they haven't been paying attention to some of the new laws that are now in  place that benefit BIG BUSINESSES like insurance companies.\n\nI wish you and your family the best.

not sure if this is the right answer, but if you go under social security disability eligebillty., it has information about the one being care for is able to recieve under social security. There is all kinds of ways and reasons for elegibility that is never mention anyway until you start digging.  For instance, My mother needs 24hr care after 2 strokes.  We have her at home, she is blind and can't walk at 85years old.  She's entitled because she has diabetes,and had it most of her life.  But it too much for me to explain, look it up and you'll be wonderfully surprised I'm sure.

There are three sources for help for disabled individuals. First, Social Security has a program to provide assistance to disabled individuals who are not retirement age for those who qualify under their standards. Second, the local welfare office or workforce has programs for the disabled. Finally, your state has a Department of Vocational Rehabilitation or Office of Vocational Rehabilitation which can be located via your state government's website. Good luck!

I don't think this is exactly what you had in mind but someone there may  be able to answer your question.\n\nhttp://www.geocities.com/disabledsingles/

Oh no.\n\nThis is a disaster.  You will have to endure endless phone calls to automated voices in the forlorn hope of eventually getting thro to a socially impaired YTS trainee.  Who will cut you off.\n\nOr, you can ask to borrow someone else's.\n\nNext question you ask is, 'does anyone have a BT broadband installation disc i can have?'  Afraid we checked ours cos we didn't need it.
