I'm thinking of applying for a post- doc fellowship to Ohio State
University in 2004. They can offer excellent residency and 24 hour
support through creative living. However, I need personal care assistance
for daily hygiene needs, thesese are not supplied by creative living.
A problem may arise because I am an Australian citizen?
I shall quote a conversation with marilyn Frank Executive Director of
Creative Living:
Our residents get their personal care through Medicaid/Medicare which is
part of our social security system so there might be the problem. We
have nothing to do with how each resident acquires their
attendants....independent living. I believe their attendants turn in
their bill to an agency that probably gets reimbursed from the
government. I have no idea how you would proceed with this.
Hopefully some Listers have suggestions?
Kindest Regards, Peter
