That is my whole issue. If Isaiah doesn’t live there, A&P are gone, there is no way Isaiah can just hire workers... The workers don’t get overtime and I can guarantee when 5pm hits and then night nurse doesn’t show up, the other worker will be out the door.. What happens to Abbie then? Left alone, whole house to herself, and if Isaiah is in a different state?I really want to know details about the plan for Abbies care. They say the plan is for Abbie to live in "her" house with 24/7 care givers. And to whom will these workers report to? If Isaiah is in charge of just the finances as they claim...where is the oversight for her care? Who will monitor Abbies health? They also have to have an RN on the payroll because if they use Abbies Medicaid wavier, a respite worker can not give her meds. I am sure an LSW will be assigned by Medicaid to pop in, but I still do not see how they think having her live alone with respite workers is safe. Do they think that these people may never take her anywhere and be unable to handle her? Take her to a friends and sit unhappily? Or potentially a predatory situation? Not knocking respite workers, but a GED is all you need.
Idk...just seeing how little progress is being made has me concerned for her future. Too many checks. Not enough balance. I never thought I'd say this but I think they should start looking for a safe group home setting for Abbie as she approaches adulthood. At this point it may even benefit her. They are teaching her nothing, and the fact that Asa shrugs off the nudity shows hes not even thinking of her future safety.
If others don’t think this happens, it literally happens every day of the week. Florida pays like my state and they are one of the lowest in the US. They cannot pay for 1 permanent long term, 24/7 worker. They will need to hire multiple workers that rotate in and out of the house...
Now, if they could get someone like Dummer to do it with the life insurance policy, maybe she would but what happens when Dummer needs a break? What happens if Dummer was to get sick or injured? or the worse, was to die before Abbie?
They have a lawyer’s office that has written up some hung-dinger of a estate planning paperwork but the actual realization of it working is absolutely not going to work. The state would step in very quickly and remove Abbie from the home, when they find she cannot be cared for by a relative..
PS. I have had these talks with several lawyers and some know and will give their clients the honest truth. Some don’t have a clue and will write up anything the client says. Others know it won’t happen but they will just write it up anyway because they are getting paid and what does it matter, it is estate planning and they will be dead before they find out it won’t work...
