Epilepsy Facility??

Sun, 04/13/2014 - 19:43

Does anyone know of any facilities a seizure patient can check themselves into (similar to a nursing home)? I live alone and my health just continues to decline. I keep getting injured and scarred up here at home and denied for disability. I have NO family support. Friends live away. Help is very limited. So, I am looking for any facility out there anyone may know of that could help. I live in GA, but would travel nationally or even internationally, if needed, to check myself in somewhere for a short while to try and regain some strength and maybe get better. Any tips?

A comprehensive epilepsy

A comprehensive epilepsy center could help you re evaluate your epilepsy and see if better control could be achieved. They also could help assess your safety and connect you with social workers and people could help look at living options in your area. Visit the Toolbox under Get Help to find centers in your area. /www.epilepsy.com/get-help/find-doctor/find-epilepsy-center epihelp
