<p><strong>Message:</strong> <br />            Hello! My name is Toni McGovern. I have a 47-year-old son who suffered a stroke in early November. Currently my husband and I are in San Francisco where he lives and we are planning to bring him back to New Jersey in the next one to two months. My husband and I are John's primary caretakers, and we are looking for an assisted living facility near us where he can live long term.<br />
Is there someone I can talk to about admissions? Or that I can email with questions and details about his needs? The following highlights his current situation.<br />
<br />
Timeline: John had a stroke in the beginning of November and was in the hospital for 9 weeks recovering from wounds from his fall. He went to acute rehab for 2.5 weeks at the end of December. Then he moved to a residential care facility and received outpatient therapies from mid-January through the end of February. Now he is in an assisted living facility in San Francisco where he continues to receive visiting PT, OT, and speech. <br />
<br />
Current Prognosis: John is paralyzed on the right side, but has been making progress with PT to use assistive devices to begin to learn to walk. Right now, he cannot do this on his own. He can transfer from his bed to a wheelchair with minimal assistance, and he can also use the toilet. He can use his left hand to feed himself. He needs assistance for dressing and showering. He is nonverbal and cognitively impaired. He can nod yes and no, and make some verbalizations, but these are all inconsistent. My husband and I have Power of Attorney and are making major decisions for his care on his behalf.<br />
<br />
Insurance and Finances: John currently has Medicaid coverage in California (Medi-CAL). He does not currently have an income---he has been unemployed since 2022. In terms of assets, he has a retirement account which we are in the process of converting to an income for him. We are also currently applying for social security disability insurance, but we anticipate this will take some time to be approved and for him to begin receiving these benefits. We will be privately paying for his care when he arrives in New Jersey, and we will be enrolling him in a marketplace health insurance plan. <br />
Thank you for your help. Here are phone numbers for us.<br />
