Trapped in supported accommodation

I have various people on my team supposedly helping through my depression, and other issues I have. They requested I go into a care facility for a one month stay. Which I agreed to fully expecting to return home about one month after. As soon as I mover in to the place there attitudes changed. All of a sudden I had to stay in the supported accommodation. Because I was not going to be supported in my home. Even though the support I need is available from various agencies. Around Melbourne by various counsels or privet agencies. Providing attendant care and home help. I believe I should be eligible for funding for disability. I have raised this with the people who are my advisers. But get caned every time I am not consulted. About the decision I am told just sit back do as we say. When your ready we will help more then. The plan i am not consulted on it's not working it's just stagnating. My family are no help. I am that fed up where I am. I am rely contemplating ending it all my life has no meaning in here. Just a worthless piece of meat that gets treated like a 3 year old. I know a warehouse full of stuff. That no one can now use. I cannot help anyone in here not even myself I'm not aloud.

So the sarga continues Like sucking pea soup through a straw so is the stuff in my life if you can call it that. I have a gungho psyche trying to get me home a mental health worker saying it's not her job to help get me there if I go there I wont have physical help there until the ndis funding comes through a sister who is meant to be helping but not talking to any one and then there is piggie in the middle wondering which lot of muck to sit in?

Kanga,

Do you know when the funding comes through? Very frustrating for you i can only imagine. Do any of your relatives live close enough to help you out at home?

According to their website, The National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) welcomes feedback, including complaints. They believe people have a right to speak up as it helps the NDIS to see what works, what doesn’t and where the NDIS can make improvements in products and services.

the furthest is about an hour away her hubby is not well she isn't much better plus the help she can give I don't need. The closest brother is not interested in helping the closest sister is not talking to me I dont know why and she has some health issues at the moment the other brother's partner isn't well either so I is alone here surrounded by people not enough give a flying pig

I am sorry Kanga,

I was thinking about you today, I saw a person driving one of those motorised scooter/ wheelchair things, and then remembered that you would like one of those. And then wondered how you were getting along.

Hope everything works out soon.

Well now we are waiting for the ndis to roll out hopefully giving me funding for my needs which means home care and mobility The Physiologist recons this place is wrong for me but no one is helping getting me out of here. my health and fitness is getting worse in here I am loosing all motivation for every thing I know I have information to pass on to others but I cannot stuck in here its equivalent to a prison only difference is in prison you get more rights and you have a time limit to how long your there for. Here it's a life sentence for no crime.

Well the OT showed me the report going in to help with my ndis claim. Nothing new in it no surprises just what I have been saying for about six years or longer. The only difference is she has a piece of paper saying she can say that from a University I don't have that piece of paper. So I don't know How bad I really am only doctors OT"S know I am uneducated I have worked in the industry since 1982 knowing nothing talking to nurses doctors other workers Watching learning finding out what was a lie. There is full evidence of my knees being Shot to hell. So I have another person on the right page One step closer Slowly step by step Inch By inch I am getting closer To freedom from here And being able to be a normal human Next problem What is a normal human?

When I go to sleep at night I honestly pray I pray to god that my siblings and the support workers wind up in an age care facility similar to this one. So they get a taste of the hell that I have gone through by being in here.
Honestly I wouldn’t keep a dog in a place like this let alone a fellow human being.
I cannot evidently organize my own GP without him agreeing to their terms and conditions even if I don’t like their doctor tuff suck it up just cop it sweat even if the he is wrong just do as the doctor says. The GP I saw before I was here did a far better job yet I cannot get to him and they won’t let him in unless he agrees to a list of their demands again I have to suck it up they have the same rule for all yet I don’t trust their doctor at all For me not to trust an individual is a big deal. I usually give someone a great deal of latitude I would rather see a vet than the GP they are sending me to. I know what to expect from Jack the ripper. My mental health has got worse in the last few weeks because of things said. Plus actions taken by staff or doctors. Now if I can see that why cannot their people see that.
