Assisted Living Directory Blog

I received an interesting e-mail today that I wanted to share. I didn’t have the answer, but I thought it was a great question. I know that many seniors go back to school in some capacity. Of course, school can be expensive for anyone, and when you couple that with any possible costs for assisted living, or any other costs of living, you can imagine how difficult it may be to actually make happen. The e-mail said:

Are there any grants or funding available to help a seniuor complete an education. Have 20+ credits and more than 300 Contact hours of education credits and would like to know what is available. Am 66 and on SSI and disabled. Robert (Bob)

I just got an email from someone who asked me an interesting question:

“I have a client who is 19 years old and Morbidly Obese. Do you have any facilities that would be suitable for him??”

This brought up a good point - Assisted living isn’t just for the elderly. This is a myth. Unfortunately, there are many younger people with disabilities who can’t operate on their own, so they need assisted living.

I wasn’t able to give this person a good answer, unfortunately. If anyone knows of a facility that might take her client, please let me know in a response to this blog post!
