Subject: Taking it to the experts

 

Everyone,

I'm asking for help from all the experts on this group. I have an uncle that is

in his 70's has development delays and suffered stroke. He is having numerous

problems physical and mental. I'm not this stage of life with my own children. I

need resources to assist my family. Any suggestions for services would help out!

I don't know all the details but, want to aid my family from my contacts. Thank

you in advance.

Hi -  I have some experience working with this population and I

could assist you in the care of your uncle.  Perhaps we could discuss my

assisting your uncle in some way.  So, If you'd like, you can email me at

kyndojo@... and we can talk about it.  Thank you, Doreen

I would think the first step would be to find out who the PAS Agency is in the

area in which your Uncle lives. If he is I/DD, they are the gatekeepers for

supports and services. In addition, other agencies may exist in the township,

county or other entity, for example The Council for Jewish Elderly (tI believe

they provide services for senior citizens of all religions.)

Unfortunately, this is not my area of expertise...anyone else have information

that could be useful to this family?

Ellen,

I contacted my uncle that has power of attorney over my other uncle and he

didn't know what a PAS agency was...this helped me with a starting point. I

contacted Suburban Access and left a message for a follow up on Tuesday. I

wanted to reach out to the group because of the amount of experts that may have

already encountered this realm of life. I plan on reaching out to a number of

agencies until I find out the best avenue. I just didn't want to spin my wheels

in the wrong direction and waste time. I will be reaching out to the following

organizations:

 

Suburban Access

Division of Mental Health

Grand Prairie Services Jewish Child & Family Services

Chicago Association for Retarded Citizens (IF ANYONE HAS AN ACCURATE CONTACT

NUMBER)

Park Lawn

 

Thank you for responding to the email, it's a start. Keep you posted.

You also may want to call the Department on Aging.
