This is great! In Ohio , progressively neurology ill people are not allowed in brain injury programs because they feel that the brain injury patients get improvements, whereas the progressive neuro patient doesn't. I don't agree with that logic, but that is what is stated here many times. Thus the young neuor patient is often put with the Alzheimer's patient. The brain injury patients are patients who are classified as being able to be trained to get back into the work force paid and volunteer work force. I think this is what some of us interested have been fighting for in order to stay at home. Why should the govt. have to build new houses?? reinventing the wheel. Why should Ivan have to live in community housing when he already has a home??unless he couldn't pay the mortgage. OOPS I forgot save the govt. money. It is cheaper to have 1 HHA for 6 patients in a govt. subside home/room, then to have 1 HHA for 1 patient in the patients own home. Also, that way we can pat ourselves on the back and say how we are for the citizens of the USA. I thought Capitalism was free market not government control. I thght government control was socialist or communism. I am torn - I don't want to see people in most restrictive environment when they don't have to be, but why do they have to go there first?? Why do we have to build new housing when the person already had a home?? Why didn't they get the help they need in their own living quarters to begin with?? AH i forgot the word I get told alot- 'control' If it is such a great thing why do Govt. officials get different benefits? However, this is an excellent start as to getting people to realize that some ill people can be in the community longer than what one may think.
