Are there shared housing options to help some of the people looking for more supportive environments? Some areas of Texas are wastelands, as far as senior living goes, and worse when disabled. Many seniors (esp. women) were left w/o enough SS due to divorce, or lately I’ve found many who spent every cent they have on health care for themselves or their kids who now ignore the parents needs.

In VA. adult kids have to chip in!

I think it’s time for some of “us” to obtain some assistance to form multy-family units for mutual benefit, safety, and independence.

Thank you for this – but something has to be done for us. I thought all complexes had a certain # of units for the disabled, and IR leases. My interests are long-term, I hope! When I lived in Austin, it seems a far more hospitable place than I’ve found in other cities by virture of the addresses offered. Scary, especially when blind and powerchair user.

Looking at 3 possible cities, as someone now disabled (through no fault of my own), and 70 on SS only, there is no location that is safe! This concerns me, greatly.

The program for finding locations is excellent, but I dealt with one company building a new complex in N. Dallas, and they lied to me. Nearly lost what shirt I have, and sold or gave away all my things.

Yes dedicated on site staff is a must for these properties but we also need dedicated Management agents for the properties to turn aroun d. And yes the salaries need to be increased but there are still managers that work hard and long hours regardless of pay or support

I have spent many years leasing apartments at the low income properties and I think the staff of a lot of these communities has something to do with these grades. The managers and the leasing consultants do not get paid enough to deal with the issues that they have to deal with. I think if they paid the staff more, they could attract some more dedicated people that could make some changes.
