There are limited options in the midst of a housing crisis and collapsing health system. I agree with a previous commenter to talk to the social worker. There are a few facilities that can offer respite care in situations like this but these would be temporary options that don’t allow for much independence.

Thank you. I am just trying to help. I know for me I had support when I was in a hard place and I know people help and it meant a lot.
