Patient discussion about declaration.

Q. My mom was declared "unable to live alone" Hello there, my husband is considering a job opportunity in Huntsville, so we are reviewing relocation concerns. One of the biggest is: in February my mom was declared "unable to live alone" based on her psychiatric and physical wellness. As I am an only child, she will be making the move from CA with us. Aside from needing to identify a good neighborhood and school for my three and five yr old, I really need to know about any supportive services for people diagnosed with Bipolar/Schizophrenia. Can anyone help? Advance Thanks!

A. Hi Shamar, contact the Alabama Department of Mental Health and Mental Retardation office in Huntsville. Don’t forget to bring in a letter from a physician indicating your mother's diagnosis. You will be assigned a case worker who will make you aware of the facilities and programs that are available in your area. Huntsville Hospital is one of the best in the Southeastern U.S. I would also find a psychiatrist who specializes in geriatrics that is affiliated with HH. He/she will also be able to help you. I live in Birmingham and have an autistic child. You will need to get help on neighborhoods regarding good schools from our North Alabama members here and there are many fine ones indeed.
