Start with calling Council on Aging in your area. They can do an assessment. Also, speak to your primary care doctor about your situation. Ask about speaking to a social worker for future planning.

Best wishes to you.

My physical limitations include aging, osteoporosis, recovery from past opioid addiction, weakness, and inability to perform basic everyday skills that once were easy. In addition, these predicaments have been complicated by chronic depression. I need help.
