She does not have all her smarts because of the MS scaring in her brain. We need to find a place for her. She need 24 hour guidance with her meds. etc.. We have taken care of her for over 3 years and we are worn out. She takes care of her personal things but need help showing because she is not steady on her feet. She smokes and has a cat. Where do we go from here?
Call Adult Protection services ask how you go about placing her. Maybe even turn her care over to the State.
This 56 year old wont want to leave even if an ltc were available. Theres the cat. The smoking. Having the landlord be the caregiver. Given that it’s been three years, she has tenant rights meaning you’ll need to proceed with eviction if she won’t go. She could go to aps with a story about you.
Is this woman on disability for her epilepsy (I am assuming this condition, as "ecliptic" is a solar astronomy term)?
If this woman is currently under governmental assistance programs, and is not a relative, then this is for the woman herself and her social aid workers from disability to work out in terms of placement.
If you are unable to find your way in this I would contact APS (Adult Protective Services ) in your area and ask for their guidance. If she is not a family member and has no family, nor a POA, then she will need guardianship of the state to find her placement.
I wish you the best.
Maybe something like her qualifying for a group home or Section 8 housing will be a start to move her out. From there she needs to be on the radar of APS. Like I mentioned see if she is already on any assistance and if she has a caseworker and call that person.
