In State Dept. of Public Health v.

CCIB LPA Perryman-French received a call from Elizabeth. Her mother Lupe DeGennaro (DOB 05/29/34) was in this facility from 08/15/15 to 09/19/15. Elizabeth moved her to another location and the administrator of that location told her to call CCL. The entire time her mother was in this facility she was strapped to her wheelchair with a cloth strap because she would get up and try to walk around the house. (Lupe is a fall risk, so Elizabeth did not know this was not legal).

Judy is a disability rights advocate who spent a good part of her life fighting for the civil rights of disabled people. Samuel asked questions to Judy that entailed her education experience growing up disabled in the nineteen fifties and sixties. Judy mentioned to Samuel that she never recalled people asking her what she wanted to be when she was older, something Samuel feels when being constantly underestimated. Judy mentioned as well often felt afraid to be in her classes because she felt like there wasn’t a place for her due to her being disabled helped me to understand what it felt like to be underestimated due to a disability. Because Judy went to school before the Individuals with Disabilities Act was formed, there were no laws like there are for Samuel in schools for disabled people.

Based on the case study on pages 36-37 of our text and looking at the individual and financial needs of Don and Mary, I feel that they should both live in Assisted Living Facilities. According to our textbook, Assisted Living Facilities (ALF) provides assistance and supervision of activities of daily living for 24-hour. It offers more independence and privacy, a greater choices of services, and more involvement of direct care workers. (McSweeney-Feld & Oetjen, 2012, p. 25). As their care needs change, they can also opt to live in a Continued Care Retirement Communities (CCRC) which according to the book are residential complexes for seniors that offers housing options and comprehensive nursing care with their changing needs.
