[QUOTE="Heloise, post: 410305"] Hound dog, Yes, we agree it is exactly why we need long term care facilities. Our daughter is distainful of the idea of going to a half-way house. The concept of Section 8 housing sounds like a hassle to her. I applied for Social lSecurity Supplemental Income benefits for her, and during the examination she said she didn't need any help. My daughter has refused to go to our therapist for the last two years; I continue to go. I even checked on involuntary commitment, and came up empty. The local care facility said they would come to the home, make an evaluation and, if they were convinced (my daughter is excellent, though, at telling people what they want to hear), take her away and then I would need to appear in court within two days. At that point, if the judge were convinced, she could be held for at most 30 days and the facility would be free, if they felt it appropriate, to release her the next day after the court hearing. This issue is being fought out in the State capitol, with strong feelings on both sides. Basically, there is no involuntary commitment in VA. Thank you for the warm welcome, it is wonderful to be in a supportive environment! Heloise [/QUOTE]
