There is a woman in Georgia who is being told that she needs to LEAVE an assisted liiving house. I don't know if they are closing, lost funding or what. My friend who is her brother, travels all of the time so he can't have her stay with him.
Any one in the Georgia area know of a place that could take her? She was told that in a nursing home she couldn't take most of her belongings such as a computer or her electric wheelchair!
Please if you can help!
