Collapsing Garage?  Like a tent?  I definitely need to see photos of outside and inside.

Yes, medicaid ic impossible, and SS itself can be a problem with changing addresses and banks.  All of that presents the biggest obstacle to making a move like this.  Also why doing it pretty much only comes as a last resort if they change my status and reimbursement rates.  It is guaranteed at least 6 months of screwed up payments and getting hooked up properly.

The proceedure for getting paid is this.  Find an agency in your area that provides home health care workers.  All of them are understaffed and she will have little problem being hired, as long as she can pass a background check.  No special education is necessary to get hired,  I think some of mine didn't even graduate HS.  Some experience is welcome.  You get a couple of weeks training I think, requirements differ by state.  Then you take an exam for your Personal Care Assistant (PCA) certificate.  You can take a longer Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) class and get usually about $2/hr more pay. 

Once hired, they will call you with possible clients to work for,part time hours or full time, you fit to your schedule and the client.  If you have a specific client (me) you want to work for, my Care Coordinator fills out the paperwork so the agency gets reimbursed by medicaid, and you get paid by the agency.  If you are really an entrpreneur, you set up your own agency and get reimbursement directly from medicaid at a much higher rate, but the logistics of setting that up I am not familiar with.  Mucho paperwork involved, unless you intend on making a business out oof it and trying to hire people to do the work, not worth it.

Cats not a problem, as long as the litter box is far away.  lol.Currently, I don't need any lifts unless I fall down accidentally, which I haven't had happen for over a year, but good to have available if I do have an accident.  Setup depends on type, and some arent mounted but free standing oon casters to roll around.  Hoyer is one common typ.

I'll send my email in a PM.
