“This is a civil rights issue,” said Barnett Rosenfield, supervising attorney for Mid-Minnesota Legal Aid’s Minnesota Disability Law Center. “We have too many people in our state stuck in nursing homes who don’t want to be there and have no easy way out.”
the other big problem here is a lack of accessible housing. i wouldn’t be stuck in a nursing home if the Twin Cities actually had enough apartments that can accommodate a power chair. instead, wait lists are years long.
i’d have gone straight home after my surgery if our current apartment was at all accessible, but it’s not and my medical team all agreed that i shouldn’t go back there. so now i’m a 26-year-old woman living in the land of octogenarians until an accessible apartment opens up. i could be here for five years.
I opened the door and only Arthur came inside. It’s raining. I couldn’t find the other cat. She’s usually the first to come through the door, so I got slightly worried.
Until
That cat is the coziest it’s ever been and it’s not leaving except for food.
