Finding assisted living.

My sister is 26, and we are looking for a similar place. What was the two-year program?

Thanks for sharing your dilemma. It's a common one for many people. The funding and eligibility for assisted living or other kinds of supportive or group housing may vary from state to state. In my experience in New England, private insurance covers very few of these. Medicaid programs may cover certain ones but eligibility needs to be explored first. Sometimes a person needs to be a certain age, or have a certain level or type of disability. If a person has seizures and other problems that affect their functional abilities and independent living, then state agences such as Dept of Developmental Services (names are different in many states) or Dept of Mental Health may fund group home or other supported living arrangements. It's often best to start with the neurologist's office. If a person has epilepsy and other problems, consider an epilepsy center that has nurses and social workers with expertise in epilepsy. They can help determine eligibility for these services and help navigate the red tap and applications that are needed. Other testing by neuropsychology or other specialists may be needed and these could be found thru an epilepsy center. Hope this helps.
