Here's some info that was posted in the dnnyc yahoo group: CENTER FOR INDEPENDENCE OF THE DISABLED IN NEW YORK, INC. ....
Nursing Home Transition and Diversion Waiver
....

The Center for Independence of the Disabled in New York, Inc. ("CIDNY") is the leading organization serving and representing people with disabilities in New York City. Our goal is to ensure full integration, independence and equal opportunity for all people with disabilities by removing barriers to the social, economic, cultural and civic life of the community. CIDNY assists people with disabilities to gain skills and obtain services they need to live independently in the community. CIDNY also advocates for fair and effective policies that ensure full and equal access for people with disabilities.

The Nursing Home Transition and Diversion Waiver (NHTD) is a program that ensures that persons with disabilities can access services at home in the community instead of being forced to live in institutions. The Center for Independence of the Disabled is the NHTD Regional Resource Development Center for New York City, responsible for helping people with disabilities and seniors avoid institutionalization or come out of nursing homes into their own homes with appropriate supports and services.


Assisted Suicide of a healthy 79 year old woman http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/03/world/europe/03germany.html?_r=1&oref=slogin

Today's Times describes the suicide of Ms. Schardt in Germany. She was depressed and distressed by her body becoming increasingly weak. She was socially isolated. There was no indication in the article if there were services available to enable her to stay in her apartment, she believed she was going to have to enter a nursing home. She thought death was preferable to that fate.

I am sick of the ethnic stereotyping that has gone on in the past few weeks. I am an old Jew for Obama. I used to live in Kentucky and I am sick of all the simple minded descriptions of people from there. It's a state that goes from the Appalachians to the Mississippi, coal, tobacco, bourbon, horses, big cities, fine universities. Its people are as diverse as the state, the majority may be white and Protestant but that doesn't tell you anything about the individual. After Obama does his tour of Florida I hope he will visit Kentucky.
