[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, many of the things that people are proposing are missing the forest for the trees.

Unless the family is unbelievably wealthy (in which case they wouldn't be looking for a 600K house) the #1 issue is going to be government assistance.  Almost no one can take on the responsibility for a person who requires total care by themselves, so knowing which state is going to provide a medicaid waiver immediately is crucial.

Having a park, or accessible meetings at the local town hall, or a shorter commute to doctor's appointments are really nice, but their importance compared to things like having someone to help with transfers if something happens to your back, or a day program so you can keep a roof over your head, or coverage for durable medical equipment like wheelchairs and oxygen tubing, or having the possibility of a quality group home if something happens to the caregiver.

OP needs to be speaking to lawyers and groups that advocate for people with severe disabilities in each state.  [/quote]
