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.
I have always thought my spelling etc was good. That is until I reread some of my posts and itch to get back into them fix up the typos. My excuse is that I think faster than I type.
On the Aged Care Commission web site you can complete your complaint on line. I suggest you do that as it will go straight to the people concerned. Being given the phone runaround is enough to drive anyone nuts.
Keep you chin up. Lots of admiration for your patience.
My patience left here 4 years ago when one group got involved saying they would help. Its me been training new people after new people. None of them know half the stuff I do. As soon as one starts to see it my way. they get transfured. I have worked in dissability since 1985 age care 1989 either as a volenteer or paid. This group don't recoknise by prior learning at all. I am in a dementa ward. Breaking news flash I dont have dementa so why am I here.No one seams to be able to answer that. mean time all the wonders enter my room taking what they want all it takes issomeone saying I have done something inapropirate then my name is shit even if i didnt do shit.
After a lot of mucking about I have found out we are now waiting on is the NDIS roll out. I have been in touch with NDIS toput myself on it. Only to find out someone all ready has. New problem arising from who ever put me in to the system. They gave my DOB wrong if we had gone much further along because of that it could have been put to the bottom of the pile. Now roll on November for funding. Then a couple of months to get services. It could meen I wont be out before Christmas. I was told I would be home in one month, eleven months ago. Bloody long month if you ask me no wonder I am skidish.
Well I trust this has given you some hope about leaving and managing your own life. I'm not entirely certain it depends on the NDIS roll-out because you were not put in this home under NDIS. I will ask some questions if that's OK with you.
Mary the Aged Care Commission is where I started the ball rolling. Who refured it to another, then the refured it to another. In descussions I have had we are waiting on additional funding to get in home services involved. The offending parties who put me in here have been failing to comonunicate with me. But that still leaves me in a facility for dementia. Last time I chatted with a GP even he agreed I dont have dementia. I might get frustrated then angry because I am frustrated but not voilent. I don't wander around half lost, taking others property memory sound.Iam in the wrong facility. Its that simple, but no one seems to be able to find the right place for me.
