[quote=Anonymous]OP, who cares for the disabled person during the day? As someone who has been unwillingly trapped in the caregiver role, I feel for you. Sadly there really aren't many solutions. If someone needs full time care, they either need to be able to pay for it, or they need to get it from willing relatives or friends, or they do need to go into a nursing home (skilled nursing facility?). They can spend down their monthly SSDI to pay for one that takes Medicaid, I think, but any ones you can find are probably going to be pretty crappy and horrible for an adult with intact mental capacity who is just bedridden. Assisted living isn't the right place for someone who can't much get out of bed. It really sucks. But at some point you are going to have to think about yourself and your own kids. If this person isn't even doing the minimum to make themselves agreeable to live with, they are going to have to move out and into a crappy place. [/quote]
