[QUOTE="pajamas, post: 632651, member: 13499"] We are her guardians currently. As I looked into what it would mean to continue guardianship, it seemed a potentially expensive route with few benefits. She would object strenuously, would receive a court-appointed attorney, and in the end, would do what she pleases, but we'd have a continued obligation that husband and I are not up for. She lies, steals, and is increasingly violent if crossed. With guardianship, wouldn't we be responsible for her transgressions? We love her, but we no longer want to live with her unless there is a radical transformation, and she refuses to participate in any treatment attempts. As to SSI, she was denied last year, but I think I can re-apply now. Her doctors support it, and also suggested the personal care homes, but I don't know how to pursue that. She does best in a highly structured environment, such as residential treatment. But because she does so well there, she is discharged fairly quickly as not meeting medical necessity criteria (3 times). The suggestion on Aging and Disability Services is good. We've been working closely with the school - in fact, the new school that sparked the latest hospital round is a vo-tech program with an EBD therapeutic component. [/QUOTE]
