My ex sister-in-law is schizophrenic, and lives in Florida. She lives in an assisted living facility provided by the state. I don't know where you live, but your daughter should be able to get assistance from SSI if your in the states. Of course she will need to be diagnosed. I wish you well.

Thank you for your response. We live in Ca. They want me to cancel her medical ins. Before she is considered for any assistance. I am willing to help pay for a group home, for some reason Ca. Wants to put all the expense on the tax payers. She just needs to be in a place where she will follow the rules and start to live somewhat independent. Only thing I want is some guidance

I for one don't mind helping mental health patients, or disabled people via my tax dollars. I sure hope that if I were to become disabled that my government, in which I have paid taxes for over 40 years would be able to help me. I think that the Social Security office would have a case worker for your daughter to give guidance. Not absolutley sure though. Lori

You have options other than eviction. I'm sure you want what's best for your daughter so she can have a life of her own. People experiencing some type of mental health issue need the close support of their family. This is not her fault, she didn't ask for this and she's not herself right now. It is possible to help her regain her life and at the same time, get your daughter back. You can message me and I can give you guidance.

One of the things that I did was call my daughter's doctor nurse and told her I understood the rules and told her the things that were going on, The doctor could not call me back but he received my message. Maybe you can do the same and ask for a family group dicussion and he can get your daughter to agree. Just keep it short just tell them our daughter lives here and we have our own health issues and damage to your home etc. Tell them you care and just would like to help her in anyway but right now you don't want to go the legal (jail) if we don't know what you are dealing with. The nurse can not also give you information but can let the doctor know what is going on at home and let him handle your daughter about having a group sessions. Let him know she has family that wants to help

What are her symptoms? Perhaps there is a way the eviction can be avoided?

Perhaps she can get Medicaid, then if she is willing, can get some out patient therapy and perhaps medication that might help.
